Our Communities
Agroclimatology and Agronomic Modeling
Members | Community Leaders | Donate | Discussion Board
This community focuses on meteorology and atmospheric phenomena as they influence plant growth. This includes both measurement and modeling of biophysical interactions among crops, soil, and the atmosphere.
Airborne and Satellite Remote Sensing
Members | Community Leaders | Donate | Discussion Boards
Remote sensing involves a diverse group of researchers interested in sensor systems, analytical procedures, and applications. Aircraft and satellite sensing is a popular method for obtaining information on the spatial and temporal distribution of vegetation and soil resources. This community seeks to further the development and application of remote sensing in identifying, assessing, and monitoring aspects related to agronomy.
Biophysical Measurements and Sensors
Members | Community Leaders | Donate | Discussion Board
The community will focus on disseminating knowledge relating to biophysical measurements and the development of technology to better characterize the biophysical environment. Areas of interest include soil and plant water relations, canopy structure and dynamics, radiation, and fluxes of mass and energy.
Global Climate Change
Members | Community Leaders | Donate | Discussion Board
This community's interests include simulation modeling for impact assessment, ecosystem response to climate change, and assessment and measurement of climate-related processes. The community seeks to improve the methodology for integrating modeling approaches for specific commodities with geospatial databases and climatic and economic models.
Model Applications in Field Research
Members | Community Leaders | Donate | Discussion Board
This community promotes the application of cropping or range system models in field research to achieve long-term economic and environmental sustainability under a changing climate. These model applications help advance decision support technology.
Evapotranspiration Measurement and Modeling
Members | Community Leaders | Donate | Discussion Board | More Information
The community focuses on advances in development and applications of ET measuring instruments/sensors, remote sensing-based techniques, and direct modeling.
Sensor-Based Water Management
Members | Community Leaders | Donate | Discussion Board
This community is interested in all aspects of using sensors, sensor systems and sensor networks to enable more effective water management, particularly in irrigated agriculture.
