Don’t add salt: Researchers seek origin of salinity leading to crop yield reduction
Ryan Bailey is investigating the origination of buildup-inducing salt in irrigation water that leads to crop yield reduction.

While the Madden-Julian Oscillation’s precipitation variations are likely to increase in intensity under a warmer climate, wind variations are likely to increase at a slower rate, or even decrease.
They used a reliable tropical weather pattern called the Madden-Julian Oscillation, which can influence weather in distant parts of the Earth by sending out powerful atmospheric waves.
Their solution is a combination of creativity, chemistry and physics, along with Arun Kota’s extensive research in “superomniphobic” surfaces that repel many different kinds of liquids.
CSU researchers played a significant role in developing the technology, called Foresee.
A team of Colorado State University scientists led by Assistant Professor Emily Fischer spent the summer flying into wildfire smoke to analyze its composition in the largest, most comprehensive campaign of its kind to date.
Storms often flood towns and destroy vineyards in the Argentina's booming wine industry, but remain poorly understood. About 160 atmospheric scientists have descended on central Argentina to improve severe weather warnings, so that people know to avoid areas where flash floods are likely.
Department of Atmospheric Science researchers set sail on U.S. research vessel the R/V Thomas G. Thompson in August and September to study precipitation in the tropical west Pacific.
The network is intended to give U.S. scientists access to some of the most intense laser sources available.
It offers answers to questions that have puzzled policymakers, researchers and regulatory agencies: How much total methane is being emitted from natural gas operations across the U.S.? And why have different estimation methods seemed to disagree?
