ARS post-doc Dr. Pia Ramos monitoring a treatment system designed to remove PFAS from recycled water.
RISE Students
RISE undergraduate students from UC Riverside and their AWESRU mentors. The students spent 10 weeks at the salinity lab conducting research projects on the use of treated municipal wastewater in agriculture (August 29, 2023).
Alfalfa Research
Dr. Devinder Sandhu is crossing selected alfalfa genotypes to integrate multiple component traits of the salt tolerance mechanism.
Almond Research
Dr. Manju Pudussery, Biological Science Technician and Jeffery Geiger, UCR student, are tagging almond rootstocks for a salinity study.
Almond Research
Drs. Jorge Ferreira and Xuan Liu are recording physiological parameters to evaluate salinity tolerance of various almond rootstocks.
Salinity Mapping
Scientists at the salinity lab use satellite imagery to map soil salinity in agricultural lands, as shown on the cover of the December 2017 issue of California Agriculture (Scudiero et al., 2017).
