The team of Environmental Quality Assessment and Impact Analysis Department is highly specialized in soil and water quality assessment. We have the required infrastructure and expertise to conduct research activities such as: soil physico-chemical characterization (pH, moisture, temperature, organic carbon, nitrogen content, and nutrient levels in different soils, electrical conductivity), GHG measurements, etc. We can conduct pot experiments with different mulching materials, field measurements and accurate laboratory analysis.

My team is interested to join a project involving studies on biodiversity preservation in soils affected by erosion, salinization, acidification, and heavy metal contamination. Of particular interests are the soils susceptible to desertification.
