Abstract: The main aim of this project was to raise awareness of the soil degrading effects of accelerated wind erosion and to provide tools with the potential to increase land productivity sustainably and reduce some of the environmental uncertainties of pastoral production in the Australian desert. The project outputs include: - A representative and well-connected group of research user stakeholders - A fully functioning DustWatch wind erosion monitoring network - Maps of wind erosion activity produced from: meteorological records of dust storm occurrence, a numerical wind erosion assessment model and an intelligent knowledge-based system model - Prototype methodologies for: quantitatively discriminating accelerated wind erosion rates, and soil condition indicators for use in property-based Environment Management Systems (EMS).
