Announcement of an Ongoing Research Project


Ongoing Research Project Announcement

Project Title: EMI-Based Predictive Soil Diagnostics Mapping Pilot Project
Funding Agency: ICARDA – Climate Action Science Program (CASP), ICARDA
Contract No: 200424
Study Area: Irrigated agricultural lands of Khorezm region, Uzbekistan
Implementing Institution: Urgench State University Department of Geodesy, Cartography and Cadastre in collaboration with the Departments of Agronomy and Geography

Project Description

This pilot project aims to develop high-resolution predictive maps of key soil diagnostics particularly soil salinity across irrigated lands of Khorezm, Uzbekistan. The study integrates Electro-Magnetic Induction (EMI) field measurements, laboratory soil analyses, and geospatial modeling techniques, with the objective of supporting sustainable land management and climate-resilient agriculture.
