------------------------------------------
> The next Data Science seminar will be on Friday, February 3rd,
> 12:00-1:00pm at the MRB Seminar Room (1st floor).
>
> **** Pizza and refreshments will be provided ****
>
> To keep track of the number of attendees, please *register* at:

>
> The talk will be given by Dr. Elia Scudiero, Department of Environmental
> Sciences, UCR
>
> Title:
> Remote Sensing of plant and soil for precision agriculture.
>
> Abstract:
>
> Agricultural systems are often characterized by high spatial and temporal
> variability in the factors that determine crop yield. In particular, the
> variability of soil and other environmental factors affecting yield are
> notoriously hard to characterize at very high spatial resolution. Recent
> high-resolution satellites (e.g., Sentinel and PlanetScope) may be useful
> tools for monitoring crops and environmental factors in agriculture. This
> talk will describe recent research in Scudiero’s Lab on remote sensing of
> soil moisture and on the determination of crop salinity tolerance in crops
> using high-resolution satellite data. The talk will include an overview of
> research gaps and opportunities for the use of data science in
> agricultural research.

> ------------------------------------
> Sponsored by the UCR Data Science Center, the purpose of the Data Science
> Seminars is to foster collaborations between "core" Data Science faculty
> (from CSE/ECE/Stat Departments) and faculty/visitors from other sciences
> that face Data Science problems in their research. These informal
> gatherings are open to interested faculty and graduate  students. Each
> meeting will start with a talk describing research problems and then a
> discussion will follow for questions, open problems, ideas for possible
> collaborations etc.

> Forward this email to other colleagues or graduate students in your lab
> that may be interested. Moreover, if you are interested in giving a Data
> Science related talk, please contact me (tsotras at cs.ucr.edu).
