Abstract: Existing and upcoming satellite sensors continue to provide global information for many agricultural and hydrological applications. Recent advances in technology and computational algorithms have further improved the spatial and temporal resolution of the soil and crop-related information. During the presentation, the Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences (IFAS), the agricultural arm of the University of Florida; and Global Food Sustainability Institute (GFSI) and Center for Remote Sensing will be introduced. From my own research program, two projects will be highlighted, one involving a data-driven approach for spatio-temporal scaling of satellite data for high resolution soil moisture in agricultural regions, and the second using physics-guided machine learning for in-season crop growth with satellite-based optical indices. The presentation will conclude with ideas on synergistic research and teaching collaborations between the two institutions.
