Research summary
AI-generated

Dennis C. Flanagan studies how water, wind, and land management practices cause soil erosion, and how these processes can be predicted and modeled. Much of the work centers on the Water Erosion Prediction Project (WEPP) model, applying and refining it to simulate erosion, runoff, and sediment loss across different soils, slopes, tillage practices, and climates worldwide. The research spans laboratory rainfall simulations, field observations, and computational modeling aimed at supporting agricultural and land management decisions.
