Our @livingdeltas colleague Nga Do led this paper using material flows analysis of N in the Red River Delta of #Vietnam. A 1.6% rise in #fertilizer N use in rice paddy between 2000 and 2020 has led to a 53% increase in surface water N loading.

Sand grains wear their history as microscopic textures acquired in transport. A model can use texture to distinguish between grains moved by rivers, wind, glaciers, or beach processes, helping identify sand deposit origins. In PNAS: ow.ly/EVyL50TrhRt
