CGIAR Research Programme on Water, Land and Ecosystems Research Theme Enhancing Sustainable Agriculture Solutions Productivity Landscape Restoration Risk and variability Agriculture is often blamed for the degradation of our natural environment. But if more biodiversity is integrated into agricultural land we can supply the world’s growing population with a healthy diet while sequestering up to […]

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 […]
