Agricultural soil erosion not contributing to global warming, study shows
Agricultural soil erosion is not a source of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere, according to research published online in Science. View More (2007-10-26)
Geotimes: The impending coastal crisis
Coastlines are the most dynamic feature on the planet. In the March issue, Geotimes magazine looks into the risks of increased development along our coastlines and what that means for erosion, flooding and future development. View More (2008-03-13)
Root Beer May Be "Safest" Soft Drink for Teeth
Exposing teeth to soft drinks, even for a short period of time, causes dental erosion—and prolonged exposure can lead to significant enamel loss. Root beer products, however, are non-carbonated and do not contain the acids that harm teeth. View More (2007-03-21)
Scientist issues warning over UK's coastal development
A scientist at Royal Holloway, University of London has condemned some of the recent developments on the coastline of south-east England as inappropriate in terms of medium and long term coastal management, largely due to their location on a examples of unstable coastline. Dr Peter French, an expert on coastal erosion in the Department of Geography, says the developments are at odds with the... View More (2002-05-14)
Experts support call for new focus on soil management
Professor Mark Kibblewhite, Director of the recently launched National Soil Resources Institute, today strongly supported calls by the Environment Agency for a new focus on environmentally-friendly soil management practices. This comes after publication by the Agency of a report on Agriculture and Natural Resource Problems. NSRI is a department on Cranfield University’s Silsoe campus, and a... View More (2002-06-18)
Scorpions inspire scientists in making tougher surfaces for machinery
Taking inspiration from the yellow fattail scorpion, which uses a bionic shield to protect itself against scratches from desert sandstorms, scientists have developed a new way to protect the moving parts of machinery from wear and tear. View More (2012-01-26)
Study shows no-till's benefits for Pacific Northwest wheat growers
Wheat farmers in eastern Oregon and Washington who use no-till production systems can substantially stem soil erosion and enhance efforts to protect water quality, according to research by U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) scientists. View More (2011-03-09)
GPS Helps Locate Soil Erosion Pathways
Grassed waterways are placed in agricultural fields where runoff water tends to concentrate because they can substantially reduce soil erosion. View More (2009-08-14)
Study: Sports drink consumption can cause tooth erosion
While sipping on sports drinks all day may provide an energy boost, this popular practice is also exposing people to levels of acid that can cause tooth erosion and hypersensitivity, NYU dental researchers have found. View More (2009-04-06)
More market less poverty, but also more sustainable land use?
During empirical research in Benin, Dutch-sponsored researcher Esaïe Gandonou demonstrated that farmers in underdeveloped parts of developing countries make little extra effort to control soil erosion if the market to which they sell their products becomes more accessible. View More (2006-02-16)
Careful Sleuthing Reveals a Key Source of Sedimentation
Much of the Mississippi River's sediment load doesn't come from field runoff, according to work by scientists at the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). Instead, the scientists with USDA's Agricultural Research Service (ARS) have confirmed that stream bank collapse and failure can be chief contributors to high sediment levels in the silty streams and rivers that flow into the Mississippi.

Portuguese coastal levels always on the rise
Of a total of close to 80 percent of the coastal zones in the world that are undergoing a process of erosion, the Portuguese shore is one of those most affected, especially the zone between Ovar and Espinho. Facts such as the rise in the sea level, provoked by the climate changes that overheat the planet, are the origin of the problem, which is aggravated by the scarce natural defences against...

Solutions to abrasion and erosion in wind generator vanes
Wind generator vanes can suffer degradation by erosion, particularly at their outer edge, produced by particles (dust, sand, etc.) which are present suspended in the air. View More (2005-09-13)
Cover Crops Reduce Erosion, Runoff
Cover crops may be more effective at reducing soil erosion and runoff after maize harvest than rough tillage, according to scientists from the Université Catholique de Louvain, in collaboration with the Independent Center for the Promotion of Forage (CIPF). View More (2010-05-19)
Detecting bone erosion in arthritic wrists
Both magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT) are more sensitive than radiography - the standard imaging technique - for detecting bone erosions in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). View More (2008-02-28)
New 'Delft' model: coastline erosion due to rise in sea level greater than previously thought
A new model allows researchers at UNESCO-IHE, TU Delft and Deltares to much more accurately predict coastline erosion due to rising sea levels. View More (2012-09-05)
Endoscopic findings of cytomegalovirus gastritis
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) disease is a serious complication after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-SCT), which is widely accepted as a curative therapy for advanced hematological malignancies including leukemia and malignant lymphoma. View More (2010-06-25)
The price paid for higher energy is highly dangerous to teeth
For more than 10 years, energy drinks in the United States have been on the rise, promising consumers more "oomph" in their day. View More (2008-03-13)
How to manage erosion caused by everyday beverages
Researchers have warned people to beware of the damage that acidic beverages have on teeth. Yet, for some, the damage and problems associated with drinking sodas, citric juices or certain tea may have already begun to take effect. View More (2009-07-20)
Humans causing erosion comparable to world's largest rivers and glaciers
A new study finds that large-scale farming projects can erode the Earth's surface at rates comparable to those of the world's largest rivers and glaciers. View More (2009-09-02)
