Research Scientist Phil Gassman published in the most recent issue of the journal Land. Gassman co-authored the article "An Approach for Prioritizing Natural Infrastructure Practices to Mitigate Flood and Nitrate Risks in the Mississippi-Atchafalaya River Basin" with Keith E. Schilling and Jerry Mount of the University of Iowa, Kelly M. Suttles and Eileen L. McLellan of the Environmental Defense Fund, and Michael J. White and Jeffrey G. Arnold of USDA-ARS.

Their article intersects watershed-scale risks to flooding and nitrate export in the Mississippi-Atchafalaya River Basin with potential locations of seven natural infrastructure practices to prioritize where they can be most effective for combined risk reduction at watershed scales. The study results are a launching point from which to improve the connections between watershed scale risks and the potential use of natural infrastructure practices to reduce these risks.
