Is dust helping peatlands accumulate carbon? It depends. Our new paper out in @jgrbiogeo.bsky.social compares the impacts of intense dust input from a road and smaller atmospheric dust episodes on a peatland - led by former Ph.D. student Xiaoyu Li

The cost of dust is more than you may think! Our study of the economic impacts of wind erosion in the USA is now out, showing it's way beyond the level of a "billion dollar disaster", greater than all other natural hazards except maybe hurricanes. Read: rdcu.be/d79cF www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Economic costs of wind erosion in the United States - Nature Sustainability
Wind erosion and dust transport present challenges to human wellbeing, health and infrastructure. Last estimated for the United States in the 1990s, present economic costs of wind erosion across the U...
