Cluster member Gabrielle Boisramé is based at the Desert Research Institute and has been studying the transformative impact of Yosemite’s natural fire experiment for over a decade.
“Our results hopefully give forest managers an extra reason to try this approach in more areas,” Boisramé says. “And that can give us a better idea of where the strategy works well and where it may have less of an impact. This project is a great example of scientists and managers working together in a place that the public cares a lot about.”

I was up in time to catch a foggy moonset.
And then it was a packed morning presenting our latest research to the state government groundwater team.
Firstly a tour of the new Critical Zone Observatory with Dr. Martin Andersen, and then a groundwater tour of Wellington Caves with Martin and Dr. Marilu Melo Zurita.
Thanks to Dubbo Regional Council for their support and cakes.

#WildlandFires in #Canada have been making headlines in the U.S. #CriticalZone researchers have been studying the effects of stronger and more frequent large #widlfires for decades. And, of interest to us here in the #Dust Cluster, how these disturbances contribute to the movement of small particles throughout the #ComplexSystems of the #CriticalZone.

#SourceToSink movement of #dust in the #CriticalZone is what we study every day. This recent paper from Tomonori Totani describes the research possibility in source to sink transport of dust through space.
"Grains ejected by asteroid impacts from exoplanets in the Milky Way and then travelling to the Solar System" could provide evidence of #extrasolar life.
We're always fascinated by the many ways dust influences the human experience.

Story about recent #dust storms in #Utah.
"Dust pollution is harmful on its own, ravaging the lungs, flaring up asthma and causing inflammation. The lake’s sediment also contains dangerous materials like #arsenic and other heavy #metals. The impact those pollutants are having on #Wasatch Front residents remains unknown."
This is why we are doing this work in the #Dustˆ2 Cluster. We want to be able to better understand the impact of those #pollutants.
