The City of Ames Power Plant opened in 1901 as a coal-fired plant, converted to coal-fuel and refuse derived fuel (RDF) in 1975, and then to exclusively RDF in 2016. Fly ash that escapes the plant’s air pollution removal system contains heavy metals originally present in the fossil fuels, and are transported from the smoke…
Loess is known to be widespread across the mid-latitudes of most continents, but it has not been as obvious to look for loess in Iran. Even though articles regarding loess sediments in Iran exist, global and regional maps typically indicate little to no loess within Iran
Despite being fundamental terms in Earth science, the definitions of colluvium and alluvium differ between disciplines, countries, and authors.

This research examines the ability of different spatial models to predict a soil property for a range of scales and for areas beyond the sampling extent.
The base maps developed by the digital hillslope position model can facilitate the disaggregation of soil mapped as complexes.
Digital soil mapping could be enhanced by the consideration of information from multiple analysis scales.
We present a method that tease out two textural signatures and thus, estimate the original particle size distribution of multi-sourced eolian sediments.
The PI uses family-level Soil Taxonomy information, i.e., interpretations of taxonomic features or properties that tend to be associated with natural low or high soil productivity, to rank soils from 0 (least productive) to 19 (most productive).
A presentation of soil productivity and soil drainage indexes based on Soil Taxonomy, side by side and with example validations.
