SOIL 415 & on Zoom
Join us Wednesdays at 3:30 for our spring departmental seminar series. This week will feature a series of short talks from LAAS students and researchers in the SWAC & CFANS community.
Trey Maddaleno | LAAS PhD student
Title: CO2 and CO Flux Observations Capture Competing Roles of Fossil Fuels and Urban Biosphere
Description: Combining eddy covariance measurements of complementary species can be a powerful tool for better understanding and constraining variation and source characteristics of trace gases like CO2 that are relevant to the climate or air quality.
Alice Prates Bisso Dambroz | Postdoctoral associate, Dept. of Bioproducts & Biosystems Engineering
Title: Watershed hydrology in Brazil
Description: Insights from monitoring an agricultural watershed during precipitation extremes
Azucena Sierra Garcia | LAAS PhD student
Title: Farming on Slopes: What Soil Temperature Reveals in the Driftless Area
Description: How does the topography of the land influence soil conditions on farms? In this short talk, we share insights from a SARE-supported project measuring soil temperature across hills, slopes, and valleys in the Driftless Area. These sensors reveal hidden microclimates that can influence soil health, crop growth, and management decisions on sloped landscapes.
Sarah Patterson | LAAS PhD student
Title: The Dirt on Disturbance
Description: how we might be able to improve soil carbon storage on conservation grasslands through strategic management.
