This was at the International Conference on Aeolian Research in Mibura, Australia, a decade ago
It was ten years ago today that I revealed the dangers of SPONTANEOUS HUMAN SALTATION to the world. Sadly, not everyone has gotten the message.

Interesting talk about the decline in dust activity in East Asia since the 1970s, now documented by a lot of research but still surprising to a lot of people. I tend to see the decline in strong wind frequency in source areas as a key factor, but I will be interested to see what Jimmy Li has to say.
Sign up for the next ISAR Virtuaeolian Webinar, with Jimmy Li from the University of Hong Kong presenting on "Dust activities in East Asia in the 21st century: beyond declining." It will be on May 13th.
