Point to Landscape-Scale: Traits in Agroecology
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…

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…

Media Roundtable: Powering a sustainable future through lithium extraction from unconventional sources
MEDIA ADVISORY Batteries are critical to powering America’s clean energy future. However, 100% of the lithium that goes into batteries in the U.S. currently comes from foreign sources. The need to develop a domestic supply is urgent in the face of unprecedented demand for lithium to power electric vehicles (EV) and other clean-energy technology. Exponential growth in the EV market means that importation of foreign sources of lithium will be insufficient to meet demand in as little as four years.…
