07/08/2026- 07/11/2026, Nusrat Jahan presented research at the 2026 NACAA Annual Meeting & Professional Improvement Conference (AM/PIC) in Denver, Colorado. Congratulations to Nusrat, the work was previously recognized with First Place in the Applied Research Category at the LSU Ag Summit 2025 Poster Competition and was honored at the 2026 Louisiana County Agricultural Agents Association (LCAAA) Awards Banquet on 06/02/2026
06/09/2026-06/11/2026, Congratulations to Dr. Vinit Sehgal on being recognized as a CorTeam member of the National Coordinated Soil Moisture Monitoring Network (NCSMMN) during the 17th Annual National Soil Moisture Workshop in Asheville, North Carolina. CorTeam members collaborate with federal agencies, state mesonets, water managers, and researchers to advance soil moisture monitoring, support drought decision-making through the U.S. Drought Monitor and the National Integrated Drought Information System (NIDIS) and strengthen water resource management across the U.S.
12/15/2025–12/19/2025, Members of the SHaRE Lab group attended the American Geophysical Union (AGU) Fall Meeting 2025, held in New Orleans, Louisiana, and participated in poster sessions focused on hydrology, soil moisture dynamics, and remote sensing applications. During the meeting, the group also collaborated with the Vadose Zone Research Group at Texas A&M University to conduct a workshop on “Data Visualization and Geospatial Analysis with R“
