A new crop of factories requires roads, and that means sand. To keep up, the country is importing from Cambodia on a massive scale

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: https://t.co/pdaeeEZyzf
