Mission:
The mission of the Wind Erosion Research Unit is to: (1) identify and quantify the physical processes involved in wind erosion; (2) develop simulation models and expert systems to predict wind erosion and design control practices; (3) develop and evaluate tillage tools, management systems, barriers, mulches, soil stabilizers, and cropping practices for wind erosion control; (4) evaluate impact of soil erosion by wind on soil productivity, crop quality and yield, air and water quality, mechanical devices, transportation, and other economic activities.
