 | Soil Health Research at The Ohio State University with Manbir Rakkar, assistant professor of soil fertility and nutrient management in the School of Environment and Natural Resources discusses the role of soil health in nutrient management and ongoing soil health research and extension activities in her lab. |
 | Dr. Jim Ippolito is a professor of environmental soil health. His 30+ year career has focused on improving environmental soil fertility/chemistry/microbiology/soil health within agricultural, shortgrass steppe, grazed, burned, and metal-contaminated mined-land ecosystems. His research program connects the intimate linkages between soil macro- and micro-nutrients, trace and heavy metals, microbiological activity, and soil physical attributes, and how these factors combine to influence ecosystem sustainability, resiliency, food, climate, and environmental security. In this short video, Jim shares about his relationship with the soil to celebrate the first Ohio Soil Health Week from November 10-16, 2024. Learn more at https://ohiosoilhealthweek.com.

 | January 14, 2024"Climate change in Ohio: What should you do?" Robyn Wilson There is a scientific consensus that climate change is occurring, it is caused by people, it is bad for people, and we can solve it! We will walk through the evidence for these facts, with a focus on the impact of climate change in central Ohio and steps we can take as citizens to create a more resilient future. Robyn Wilson, PhD, is a professor in the School of Environment and Natural Resources at The Ohio State University. Dr. Wilson is a behavioral decision scientist studying individual decisions under risk. She is also interested in the development of strategic communication efforts, as well as the design of decision support tools that assist individuals in making more informed choices. Her current research focus is on adaptation to climate-exacerbated hazards, and what motivates and constrains different land use and land management decisions on private and public lands. Science Sundays is a free lecture series open to the public that provides a wide range of current and emerging topics and issues in science that touch our everyday lives. Speakers are experts in their fields from on campus and around the world with experience in making their topics interesting and accessible for audiences of all ages, with or without a science background. |

 | Agricultural drainage helps farmers manage water levels on their farmland. When it rains extensively, farmers can help move that water out of the field. Automating that process helps farmers react more easily and precisely to changing water conditions. Dr. Vinayak Shedekar and Dr. Steve Lyons are testing an automated system with remote access via cellphone and computer to help producers more effectively manage water on their land. Learn more about this innovative project, halfway through their year of research, funded by the AgTech Innovation Hub, a collaboration between Nationwide, Ohio Farm Bureau, and the College of Food, Agricultural, and Environmental Sciences at The Ohio State University. |
