TREC Natural Resources Seminar series

This seminar series is organized jointly by Dr. Yuncong Li (Soil and Water Science Dept.) and Dr. Rafael Muñoz-Carpena (Agricultural and Biological Engineering Dept.) as a “brown bag” (lunch) informal meeting to discuss research and extension work in TREC’s Natural Resources area. The group meets at TREC’s conference room usually once a month for a brown bag lunch. Attendance is open to interested individuals. Please contact Ms. Tina Dispenza for details (tmtowery@ifas.ufl.edu, Tno: 305-246-7001 x289)
