- Proposed and verified in this paper is a novel approach, a first-ever micro-to-macro attempt to investigate the micromechanics of dust deflation mechanisms (emerging Grand Global Challenge) and its mitigation. A reproducible method for quantification of inter-particle forces in lightly cemented unsaturated geo-materials is proposed which benefits workers across and within disciplines. The method proposed paves the way beyond the classic soil mechanics and standards and sets the scene for adopting new generation of principle of effective stress. It informs environmental policy makers with a clear message: biomats will cost less and benefit more than cloud seeding in combatting dust flux
