What to Expect Climate change poses a serious threat to global freshwater and agricultural systems, with rising deficits in surface and groundwater availability. This is particularly of concern for India, which is simultaneously facing severe groundwater depletion and where the feedbacks between crop water stress, groundwater depletion, and climate change are understudied. In this seminar, I will present my approach to developing a better understanding of these feedbacks in two parts. In the first part of my talk, I will…

What to Expect The shift in the paradigm of point to landscape-scale in agroecology had a tremendous effect on management practices. The advances in computational capabilities and increased efficiency had transformed our thought processes in these areas. Some of the examples of these efforts are to monitor vegetation indices, surface temperature, and soil moisture far from the sky using remote sensing based techniques that had been widely used in agroecology; there are still gaps in these traits either to integrate…

Michael White will give a talk about “Publishing with Nature” followed by Q&A. The presentation is being hosted by Dipankar Dwivedi as part of the Watershed Function Journal Club.

Dr. Reed Maxwell  Dr. Reed Maxwell is faculty in the Geology and Geological Engineering Department, core faculty in the Hydrologic Science and Engineering Program, and the Director of the Integrated GroundWater Modeling Center (IGWMC) at the Colorado School of Mines. His research interests are focused on understanding connections within the hydrologic cycle and how they relate to water quantity and quality under anthropogenic stresses. He is an elected Fellow of the American Geophysical Union, was the 2018 Boussinesq Lecture and…
