The team’s findings may also help scientists better understand how wind forms the landscape at other remote and windy locations. “Mars has some of the best examples of wind erosion that we can observe ...

In arid places, wind erosion plays an important role, but its effectiveness is limited. When you come across a feature as dramatic as a canyon, you can be sure water put it there.

Examples of off-site impacts include sedimentation of waterways and eutrophication of lakes and ponds. Water and wind erosion together are responsible for approximately 84% of the land degradation ...

More than 90% of the methane in Earth's air, for example, was produced by microbes and other organisms. A recent study may help researchers narrow the hunt.

We provide a new and more complete analysis of the origins of the Dust Bowl of the 1930s, one of the most severe environmental crises in North America in the twentieth century. Severe drought and wind ...

Some information may no longer be current. Blowing dirt fills in ditches and irrigation canals during a wind erosion event in Lethbridge County, Alta., in a 2022 handout photo. HO/The Canadian Press ...

Apart from wind erosion, researchers also observed some rock textures which appear to be evidence of interactions with salty water, according to the study.

• Background and Aims Wind erosion is a severe stress for plants in drylands, but the mechanisms by which plants withstand erosion remain largely unknown. Here, the hypothesis is tested that ...
