The School of Geography, Development, and the Environment at the University of Arizona: Four-year, fully funded Graduate Fellowship in Agriculture, Energy, and Climate Adaptation
The fellowships are funded by the US National Science Foundation and the US Department of Agriculture, and will provide the fellow the opportunity to explore either (1) physical and ecological or (2) the socio-environmental implications of a sustainable solution for our food and energy systems in ‘agrivoltaics’. Agrivoltaics co-locates agriculture and renewable energy production, increases […]
University of Minnesota Extension: 2021 Soil Management Summit
Cultivating soil productivity and health The Soil Management Summit emphasizes proven farmer experience and applied science. Straight from the fields, learn how heavier, colder soils aren’t necessarily the challenge they’re made out to be. Hear from long-time no-till, reduced tillage, and cover crop farmers as they share their experiences, so you can be spared the […]
UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA: CONSERVATION SCIENCES SEMINAR SERIES
The Conservation Sciences Seminar brings to you a series of talks from across academic and geographical boundaries. Our speakers bring a diverse perspective into the science of conservation, it’s communication and building a community that encourages unconventional ideas and solutions. The audience is typically faculty, students and staff from the UMN Conservation Sciences Graduate program, […]
Occurrence of drought and flood periods from annual rainfall data in eastern India
65 years, 83 years, 84 years, 86 years and 87 years annual rainfall data from 10 raingauge stations in Eastern India were analysed following conventional method, ARIMA ( autoregressive integrated moving average) model, and polynomial regression for assessment of the occurrence of drought and flood periods. It was found that the present annual rainfall condition […]
Estimation of annual rainfall penetration from saturated hydraulic conductivity of soil, soil moisture content and potential, and actual monsoon period
There are many empirical formulae for the estimation of annual rainfall penetration (AMP), but those are not universal in their application and also regarding their methodologies. Datta et al (1973) have attempted in a classical way for assessing annual rainfall penetration with the help of annual rainfall and average clay percentage of topsoil. In the […]
A new approach for estimation of rainfall recharge from prolonged infiltration rate and effective monsoon period
To study the rainfall recharge during effective monsoon period an experiment was conducted during 140 days of effective monsoon in the year 1990 at Kalyani, Nadia district, West Bengal, India. The potential recharging capacity of that soil was found to be 7729 cm by continuous supply of water, while the recharge during the period of […]
Effect of waterbodies on the quality of groundwater in coastal areas of South 24 Parganas in West Bengal, India
The effect of waterbodies (sea, river or canal) on the electrical conductivity of the piezo-water at high and low tide is analysed. It is found that quality of twelve piezo-water samples up to a depth of 160 330 m is not dependent on the quality of surface waterbodies like rivers or canals. https://www.researchgate.net/publication/340165732_Effect_of_waterbodies_on_the_quality_of_groundwater_in_coastal_areas_of_South_24_Parganas_in_West_Bengal_India
Prediction of drought and flood years in eastern India using lengths of runs of annual rainfall
65 years, 83 years, 84 years, 86 years and 87 years annual rainfall data of 10 raingauge stations in eastern India were analysed for prediction of drought and flood years using runs of annual rainfalls. Both for the entire period of studies and the period after 1950 it was observed that 2 years excess of […]
