The Soil Systems Lab at Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory (LDEO) aims to leverage process and empirical modeling tools with multi-scale data sources, including field and lab measurements, survey and literature data, and remote sensing imagery, to monitor soil fertility, soil water and nutrient dynamics, agricultural productivity, and environmental losses across various spatial and temporal scales. Our research team primarily focuses on evaluating and advancing nature-based solutions by investigating the influence of environmental drivers, land use changes, and management practices on soil health and the associated ecosystem service outcomes in terrestrial ecosystems. The overarching goal of our research group is to tackle challenges related to food security and environmental sustainability.
