DR. GABRIEL GRANCO RECEIVES STRATEGIC INTERDISCIPLINARY RESEARCH GRANT 2020

Dr. Gabriel Granco (Geography and Anthropology), in collaboration with Dr. Subodh Bhandari (Aerospace Engineering) and Dr. John Korah (Computer Science), received the Strategic Interdisciplinary Research Grant (SIRG). The SIRG will support their project entitled "Cross-Scale Estimation of Agricultural Suitability of Specialty Crops in California using UAV and Satellite Remote Sensing Observations". The goal of this research is to identify areas with suitable conditions for the sustainable production of specialty crops using satellite and UAV-based remote sensing data and GIS. The study will involve the three professors and many students, thus exposing the students to cutting-edge interdisciplinary research in sustainable agricultural production systems.
