Shallow subsurface soil spectroscopy measurements of soil organic carbon
[Past Projects]
Dr. Francisco Moore and Lamalani Suarez
Conduct interdisciplinary field work in partnership with Wil Hemker of UA Research Foundation and the Department of Chemistry to validate spectroscopic measurements of soil organic carbon in agricultural edge of field vegetation. The project will compare spectroscopic probing with traditional soil core sampling, and explore the possibility of obtaining data on physical properties of soil with additional instrumentation. Fall/winter sampling is weather dependent and requires physical activity such as carrying equipment, walking, standing, and working outdoors.
