Linking temporal salt pan surface change to dust emission processes: improving global dust model parameterisation
https://www.southampton.ac.uk/research/projects/linking-temporal-salt-pan-surface-change-to-dust-emission-processes-improving
Dust emissions influence the predictability of regional and global climate models, yet the source areas that emit this dust are generally small and in remote locations, and so little is known about their surface properties and emission potential. Fu...

Investigating the crust patterns and dust emission from the centre of Etosha Pan, Namibia
https://www.southampton.ac.uk/research/projects/investigating-the-crust-patterns-dust-emission-from-the-centre-of-etosha-pan
Etosha Pan is potentially one of the most significant sources of aeolian dust in the southern hemisphere and, as both a groundwater and surface-water fed salt pan system, it also represents a globally significant source ‘type’ that is responsible for...

The pros and cons of using multiple-choice quizzing to enhance learning
https://www.southampton.ac.uk/research/projects/the-pros-cons-of-using-multiple-choice-quizzing-to-enhance-learning
Retrieval practice is generally good for long-term retention, but multiple-choice (MC) practice tests can introduce problems. For example, the lures gain familiarity during practice and can be erroneously endorsed on later tests (negative testing eff...

Using Learning Principles to Protect People from Fake News
https://www.southampton.ac.uk/research/projects/using-learning-principles-to-protect-people-from-fake-news
Fake news on the internet is negatively impacting both individuals and society like never before. Social media companies are involved in a game similar to whac-a mole, removing or identifying fake news soon after it appears, for it only to reappear e...
