Project Number: 3050-21600-001-131-N
Project Type: Non-Funded Cooperative Agreement
Start Date: May 1, 2026
End Date: Apr 30, 2029
Objective:
To collaborate on research to describe and understand the drivers and management options for transboundary wind erosion and dust transport across the US-Mexico border region. Our goal is to exchange ideas to advance scientific knowledge and dust mitigation options, which can be disseminated to producers and conservation planners to improve wind erosion management and mitigate impacts on agricultural production, air quality, and human health in the borderlands
Approach:
ARS and Cooperator will collaborate on information synthesis, data analysis, and publications.
