Agrogeophysics harnesses geophysical methods such as ground-penetrating radar, electrical imaging, seismic, from hand-held over drone to satellite-borne, to characterize patterns or processes in the soil-plant continuum of interest for agronomic management. These methods help develop sustainable agricultural practices by providing minimally-invasive, spatially consistent, multi-scale, and temporally-resolved information of processes in agro- ecosystems that is inaccessible by traditional monitoring techniques. The aim of this session was to feature applications of geophysical methods in agricultural research and/or show methodologies to overcome their inherent limitations and challenges. 

Dr Eve Daly  from the HY-RES team was an invited speaker at this event where Sixty participants attended the first day of the ‘Grassland Peat Agriculture Workshop’, which was hosted by the new Teagasc Climate Centre and the ReWet (Teagasc and University of Galway) project at Gurteen College in Tipperary on May 10th 2023 followed by a visit to NASCO and ReWet site located on site.

Presenters from Ireland, the UK and Denmark outlined the scientific, engineering and social issues facing the managment of grasslands on peat soils.

ReWet project members Dr Pat Tuohy, Dr Owen Fenton organised this meeting and Dr Eve Daly presented some of the methods the ReWet Team will be using to map peatland extend and monitor rewetting on the 12 ReWet sites across the midlands.
