GradCAP Webinar: Soils and Plant Growth

This GradCAP webinar features presentations on soil carbon dynamics, beneficial rhizobacteria, and plant temperature tolerance.

The GradCAP Scholars presenting within this session include Brooke Eastman from West Virginia University, William (Bill) Errickson from Rutgers University, and Sarah Mills from West Virginia University. Brooke Eastman focuses on the belowground carbon response to 28 years of nitrogen additions to Appalachian forests. Bill Errickson shares how abiotic stress tolerance in crops can be improved with rhizobacteria.

GradCAP Webinar: Changing Farm Management

This GradCAP webinar will feature presentations on plant disease pressures, and managing soil for mitigation.

The GradCAP Scholars presenting within this session include Kyle Dittmer from the University of Vermont, and Joe Walls from Pennsylvania State University. Kyle Dittmer will share his research on alternative soil management practices to mitigate gaseous carbon and nitrogen losses from agricultural soils, and Joe Wallswill discuss his work looking at the effects of climate change on virus evolution and plant defenses against viruses.

GradCAP Webinar: Aquaculture

This GradCAP webinar will feature presentations on temperature and surfclam rearing, and the use of kelp farming to dampen ocean waves.

The GradCAP Scholars presenting within this session include Mike Acquafredda from Rutgers University and Longhuan Zhu from the University of Maine. Mike Acquafredda will cover the effects of a warming ocean temperature on juvenile Atlantic surfclams, and Longhuan Zhu will discuss green alternatives to wave attenuation in a changing climate.
