RISE Students RISE undergraduate students from UC Riverside and their USSL mentors. The students spent 10 weeks at USSL conducting research projects on the use of treated municipal wastewater in agriculture (August 29, 2023).
 U.S. Salinity Laboratory Dr. Devinder Sandhu is crossing selected alfalfa genotypes to integrate multiple component traits of the salt tolerance mechanism.
 U.S. Salinity Laboratory Dr. Manju Pudussery, Biological Science Technician and Jeffery Geiger, UCR student, are tagging almond rootstocks for a salinity study.
 U.S. Salinity Laboratory Drs. Jorge Ferreira and Xuan Liu are recording physiological parameters to evaluate salinity tolerance of various almond rootstocks.
 U.S. Salinity Laboratory USSL scientists use satellite imagery to map soil salinity in agricultural lands, as shown on the cover of the December 2017 issue of California Agriculture (Scudiero et al., 2017).
