A new publication in Agronomy Journal featuring work by masters student, Briana Otte.

“When I first told my mom what I would be doing for work this summer, she seemed just as excited as I was. “

“on Saturday mornings, the Green truly comes to life. Members of the community come together to tend to the plants, pick weeds, erect new structures, and transplant, harvest, and share the communally grown food.”

“I am lucky to have been able to work with such an impressive team and be in charge of coordinating the biogeochemistry analyses for an important environmental challenge.”

“When we appreciate the brilliant blue of the Chesapeake Bay, salted water silently invades lands that we live on due to global warming.”

“This event was organized to bring together researchers, non-profit groups, wetland restoration practitioners, and other stakeholders to address issues related to coastal marsh restoration in the face of climate change. “

Saltwater intrusion research is the focus of a recent Civil Eats article by Virginia Gewin.

This publication in Biogeochemistry focuses on the changes that saltwater intrusion induces in farm soils.

“When I started working in the Agroecology lab, I had only a general idea about saltwater intrusion, but I now have a better understanding of how serious a problem it is for agriculture”

“Saltwater - it belongs in the ocean, right?”

“My experience in the lab so far this semester has been very informative and interesting.”

New research from the AgroEcoLab shows the huge potential of cover crops to improve water quality outcomes.

“My intern experiences this summer were nothing short of great. “

“As sea levels continue to rise, more and more farm fields are becoming increasingly “salty”

“Once I got into the groove of things and familiarized myself with the procedure, I was averaging at 300 KCl extractions per day.”

“This summer I have been lucky enough to join the AgroEco Lab’s saltwater intrusion team and come along on multiple field excursions…”

“On a large scale, the goal of our lab is to make agriculture more sustainable through research. “

“My objective is to provide information to help farmers who are affected by saltwater intrusion make management decisions that benefit both their farm and the environment.”

“Today marks the end of my time as an intern in the Agroecology Lab.”
