Findings indicate that biochar and cyanobacteria crusts strengthen soil against wind erosion, promoting sustainability in ...

In recent decades, concrete has become essential in construction, but with increasing demand for materials, the world faces a shortage of sand, particularly for concrete production. While beaches and ...

Dust from soil erosion due to wind can affect human health, traffic, and, on a larger scale, climate. Investigators compared different models that quantify how the wind energy spreads over an ...

Erosion is all around us ... the air at many times the terminal velocity of rain drops of up to 9 m/s. As wind turbines have increased in size and diameter of their blades, this has noticeably ...

Without the erosive forces of water, wind, and ice, rock debris would simply pile up where it forms and obscure from view nature's weathered sculptures. Although erosion is a natural process ...

Yardangs are made from wind erosion. As the desert blows sand onto rock formations, softer pieces erode while harder sediments remain. Some yardangs are tall like towers, while others are more ...

The original theory that wind had shaped a yardang into the Sphinx ... much of that is possible to carve by nature, by erosion.” ...

"With those two combinations, I do think there's been an increased severity and risk of wind erosion." Currently, 81 per cent of Canada's agricultural landscape is classified as either abnormally ...

A new study from the New York University uses fluid dynamics to analyze if the creation of a such a shape via wind erosion is possible. Creating many mounds of bentonite clay and plastic (a stand ...
