Gerald Ontkean provides a history of the science of assessing soils for irrigation suitability from 1915 with the enactment of Alberta's Irrigation Act.
Dr. Roland Kroebel outines where ecosystem modeling for agriculture is moving in a presentation to the 50th Alberta Soil Science Workshop. Starting with a GHG calculator, HOLOS, Dr. Kroebel proposes adding a number of other models, for carbon, soil moisture, nitrogen and environmental footprints to create a "Virtual Farm" concept.
Dr. Ross McKenzie makes the case that the relationship between soil science researchers and agricultural producers (something we used to call extension or technology transfer) was a vibrant pipeline for innovation in Alberta.
This set of presentations will introduce you to the wide range of research topics currently being undertaken by the ABMI. Speakers present the state-of-the-science and discuss the implications for Alberta’s land-use managers and policy makers.
