Underwater drone expands water quality testing capabilities
An underwater drone capable of carrying seven sensors and taking leaf and soil samples is increasing research capabilities at the South Dakota Water Resources Institute.
SDSU landscape architects use ‘green’ approach to reduce runoff
Four faculty researchers in SDSU’s School of Design are figuring out how small rural cities, such as Brookings, can integrate green infrastructure into the existing landscape to manage runoff—and, in the long run, help relieve pressure on the city drainage system.
New model to predict weather for S.D. climate divisions
Mike Gillispie, a senior service hydrologist at the National Weather Service in Sioux Falls, is working on a statistical model that will predict departures from normal temperature and precipitation levels for each of the nine climate divisions in South Dakota.
2D materials help prevent corrosion
A thin, single layer of graphene material only 1 atom thick may reduce metal pipe corrosion rates as much as 100 times. These new 2D materials could mean big savings to industries.
Stormwater Community Forum at 5:00 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 14th at the Brookings Activity Center
South Dakota State University and SDSU Extension in partnership with the Brookings Sustainability Committee invites interested Brookings residents and business owners to attend a Stormwater Communi
Researchers developing sensor to quickly detect viral DNA
A simple method of detecting viral DNA could make it possible to diagnose infectious diseases in the barn or in the field.
Saturated buffers remove nitrates from tile drainage water
Saturated buffers can provide a cost-effective means of removing nitrates from tile drainage water before it flows into adjacent creeks and streams. However, the site must meet specific guidelines.
