Mission:
The mission of the Wind Erosion and Water Conservation research unit is to conduct research on the causes and consequences of wind-induced soil erosion, and the interactions of plants with the soil and aerial environments; to develop wind erosion mitigation strategies and water management strategies that alleviate, delay, or moderate the impact of drought and thermal stress on crop production. The primary research focus is on crops that grow in semi-arid regions such as sorghum, cotton, corn, etc.
