In this episode, we chat with Richard M. Cruse, a professor in the Agronomy Department at Iowa State University and Director of the Iowa Water Center. Dr. Cruse has always been deeply fascinated with soil health and water quality, and his current research reflects this.

Presently, Dr. Cruse focuses his time on analyzing water-driven soil erosion rates. More specifically, he researches the ways that erosion is affected by rainfall, soil type, soil slope, and management.
