Daniel Yoder, Professor Biosystems Engineering & Soil Science Annual Performance Period: January 1, 2006 to December 31, 2006 A. SUMMARY AND IMPACTS. 1. Summary. Provide an overall summary (500 words or less) of your accomplishments during the reporting period. The most significant accomplishments in this reporting period include: - continued substantial work on the Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation, including especially: 1) advances in science under the supervision of USDA-ARS scientists; 2) support for USDA-NRCS nationwide implementation, which is now complete throughout the 50 states and the US territories and protectorates, but which requries updates and corrections; 3) correction of errors in the code as they are reported via an automated bug-reporting system; 4) close cooperation with other researchers desiring to use RUSLE2 erosion results in their scientific and management models, including especially the SNAP nutrient management in Wisconsin and AnnAGNPS in Mississippi; 5) development of a very different form of RUSLE2 for use on construction sites in Wisconsin, including ease of use for regulators. This effort included the oversight of one full-time employee and two graduate assistants; - significant committee responsibilities, including: Chair of UTIA Promotion and Tenure Committee, Chair of CASNR Undergraduate Council, BsE Undergraduate Program Coordinator, chair of BsE Curriculum Committee, member of BEES Academic Coordinating Committee, BsE Assessment Committee, BESS Teaching Peer Review Committee, CASNR Recruiting Committee, CASNR Key Contact Group, COE Curriculum Committee, and COE EFD Liaison Committee; - general oversight of the BsE curriculum and timetable; - service as ASAE Associate Editor, and technical reviewer for 14 additional technical articles or proposals; - teaching of seven courses, plus major responsibility for the Graduate Seminar - oversight of one MS projects, and active membership on two MS & three PhD committees; - one refereed articles published; - receipt of almost $51,000 in external grant funding 2. Impacts. List up to three significant impacts of your program. Impact statements should be one to three sentences and should be written in a way that would be meaningful to the public. The RUSLE2 erosion prediction model was developed by researchers at The University of Tennessee in cooperation with scientists and field personnel from USDA-Agricultural Research Service and USDA-Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS). RUSLE2 has now been implemented in the 2500+ NRCS field offices across the US and its protectorates and territories, and is being used an estimate 5000 times a day to compare management alternatives for their ability to reduce erosion and to enhance soil quality. In addition, RUSLE2 is now being used for planning on construction sites, helping managers keep sediment from damaging streams and rivers by comparing best management practices using cost-benefit analyses.
