A diagram illustrating how data from NASA SMAP and ESA SMOS satellites, along with ground-based measurements of crop water and soil moisture, enable improved predictions of weather and climate, drought and extreme wetness, agricultural productivity, and flood severity and extent.

Hornbuckle Research

Agricultural meteorologists strive to understand the transfer of energy (via radiation, conduction, or convection), as well as the associated movement of mass (e.g., water and carbon), within the soil–plant–atmosphere continuum

Genetic networks regulating structure and function of the maize shoot apical meristem

The shoot apical meristem (SAM) is responsible for development of all above ground organs in the plant. SAM structure and function correlates with agronomically-important adult traits in the maize plant,
