Yasas GamagedaraMississippi State Universitykanthakeyasas@gmail.comPh.D. in Biosystems EngineeringI have extensive experience applying machine learning models to predict soil and plant properties using infrared spectroscopy. In particular, my work has focused on predicting soil chemical, biological (e.g., permanganate oxidizable carbon), and physical properties, including soil hydrological characteristics. Additionally, I am well-versed in applying pedotransfer functions (e.g., Rosetta) to estimate soil hydraulic properties.YesI am open to collaborating and contributing to any project or research idea aligned with my expertise. Thank you for your consideration.

Kate OrtenziDalhousie Universityortenzi@dal.caIndigenous data sovereignty, research ethics, science communication, marine ecologyData harmonization processes, proceedures, and products while working with an Inuit community. How to create structures to make all that data that researchers collect actually useful and beneficial for the Inuit whose territory it was collected from. Working across every type of data type you could imagine from conductivity, depth, and salinity to archival material to interviews, to videos, to permafrostmaybeYESI am working in one community, but it would be excellent to work with others from other locations dealing with the same questions.
