A scientist is marking the anniversary of a field instrument he maintained high in the mountains of Utah: an active dust sampler that ran for 13 years and produced what he calls a truly unique dataset. The observation comes as researchers highlight the value of long-term environmental monitoring in the critical zone, where dust deposition shapes mountain soil and ecosystems.
Why now: The anniversary of the recording prompted the scientist to share reflections on a rare long-running scientific dataset.
