13 Undergraduate Research Symposium, on April 16 Undergraduate student Abby Livingston presented her and Dr. Brasher’s research, “Oklahoma’s Summer Climate and Irrigated Agriculture.” She also presented at the Oklahoma Clean Lakes and Watersheds Association Conference. They integrated crop yield, climate, and irrigation frequency data to better understand the dynamics between the three. Oklahoma is trending hotter, and precipitation variability is increasing. How these changes manifest in irrigation usage and crop production will be vital to the state as it adjusts for the future. Research And Presentations Continued Beatrice Kim (Computer Science) and Jacob Mote (Geospatial Information Science) presented “DroughtChat: Connecting Online Voices to Real-World Drought,” at the undergraduate symposium under the guidance of “Effects of Rural Hospital Closures on Oklahoma’s Health Landscape: A GIS-based Approach,” supervised by Dr. Tao Hu. Eddy Iyonsi (Geology) presented “DroughtChat: Connecting Online Voices to Real-World Drought,” at the undergraduate symposium under the guidance of Dr. Yuting Zhou.
