I was frustrated by the lack of a good long term climate map for the prairies. So we built one. Here is an interactive map of the average 30 yr (1990-2020) Agro-climate W Canada. We used ECCC High Resolution Deterministic Prediction System data. https://t.co/m08r5eZoOR

So happy our research team is now funded by the Canadian Space Agency for wall to wall mapping of N2O emissions risks. Thaun Ha and Kwabena Nketia had huge contributions to application! @csa_asc @agbiousask @usaskplsc https://t.co/vl6T0SYjDz

Heartbreaking extent of vegetation damage during 2024 Jasper wildfires. Bottom images show a vegetation index where green indicates healthy trees and forest, and orange is dead forest/ bare ground/ alpine, red is water bodies. Imagery from Sentinel-2.

New app day!!! Search “Virtual Rain Gauge” in the iPhone App Store. 100% free and no ads - brought to by @agbiousask! Please let us know how accurate it is - built using the CaPA data from Env Canada on 2.5 km pixels.

On #InternationalFruitDay, @agbiousask celebrates Dr. Bob Bors as he retires after 25 years with the USask Fruit Program.

Thanks to the work of Dr. Bors, #USask has one of the largest haskap breeding programs in the world.

Our lab- Agronomic Crop Imaging - post seeding bbq last night. I am so lucky to be part of such an incredible group of people! The weather was a bit cool but there were still heaps of laughter!

[Steve Shirtliffe @ProfAgronomy]

Ever wondered how much it rained but there is weather station there? We developed the Virtual Rain Gauge that uses Env Canada’s best data give you weekly, and season precipitation for any location in Western Canada.
