- Reviews current understanding of the mechanisms of soil erosion, focussing on water-based and wind-based erosion processes
- Considers the effectiveness of mitigation measures to reduce soil erosion, including buffer strips, zero/no-tillage and cover crops
- Addresses recent advances in techniques used to measure, predict, track and model soil erosion, including digital soil mapping and proximal instrumental techniques
