Climate-smart Agriculture Research at Texas A&M
Our Research
My research program at Texas A&M is focused on developing climate-smart agricultural management strategies for major row cropping systems in Texas. Our lab conducts basic and applied science research with a strong emphasis on reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, increasing carbon capture, and promoting sustainable agricultural management practices. My main research interests include:
-
GHG emission monitoring and modeling
-
Sustainable crop production strategies
-
Nitrogen-smart production systems
-
Organic farming
