Climate Change

An ARS research team along with the Southwest Climate Hub in Las Cruces, NM, developed a resource called The Water Adaptation Techniques Atlas.

Scientists investigated practices that might help smallholder farmers increase sustainability of their lands and adapt to a changing climate.

Often viewed as pests, grasshoppers may have a larger environmental role to play.

ARS helped the National Aeronautics and Space Administration with the launch of SMAP , a new satellite measuring the amount of water in top soil layers around the world.
