Selected Research Projects and Activities:
AnnAGNPS: The Annualized Agricultural NonPoint Source (AnnAGNPS) project addresses the national needs of NRCS and other agencies requiring an accounting of the sources of pollutants in watersheds and to determine the impact of management practices on pollutant loads and the downstream effects on water quality.
RUSLE: The Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation is widely used to estimate rates of soil erosion caused by rainfall and associated overland flow and is used by government agencies around the world to assess and inventory erosion to assist public policy development. Government agencies use RUSLE as regulatory and conservation planning tools. Private consultants use RUSLE to select erosion control plans to ensure cost effective, environmental protection. RUSLE is land use independent and can be used on cropland, disturbed forestland, rangeland, construction sites, mined land, reclaimed land, military training grounds, landfills, waste disposal sites, and other lands where rainfall and its associated overland flow cause soil erosion.
