The successful applicant will investigate sustainable solutions to lower
the environmental and economic cost of solar energy development by
providing novel analysis methodologies and field data on solar energy –
agriculture colocation approaches from multiple sites. The project will
evaluate environmental impacts of solar energy development on soil and
water resources and explore opportunities to colocate agriculture/range
crops with solar infrastructure. This NSF funded project will create
research, educational and public outreach opportunities related to
environmental sustainability by – training graduate and undergraduate
students with novel tools and analysis, creating test sites for technology
demonstrations of solar energy-agriculture colocation, providing
opportunities for public outreach, science communication and teaching
(including international), and broadening participation of underrepresented
groups. Opportunities will also be provided for collaborating in other
ongoing projects and for developing independent projects. Additional
information about ongoing research projects can be found at
