Judge Lab
Led by Jasmeet Judge · Agricultural and Biological Engineering
What we study
The Judge Lab studies soil moisture and vegetation using microwave remote sensing and computer models. They combine satellite data with hydrologic and crop growth models to understand water interactions in the root zone.
