Wright State’s Allen Hunt develops new tool to measure soil production that offers promise in predicting global warming

A new mathematical model that can be used to more precisely predict the degree of global warming by measuring soil production has been developed by Wright State University physics professor Allen Hunt.

The model is outlined in a paper titled “Percolation theory for solute transport in porous media: Geochemistry, geomorphology and carbon cycling.” The paper has been published in Water Resources Research, a journal of the American Geophysical Union founded in 1964. “This new model gives us a better quantitative handle on what the carbon changes in the atmosphere in the future will be,” Hunt said
