ATOMIC
Communicate research or project results to other professionals or the public or teach related courses, seminars, or workshops.
ATOMIC
Develop methods of conserving or managing soil that can be applied by farmers or forestry companies.
ATOMIC
Provide information or recommendations to farmers or other landowners regarding ways in which they can best use land, promote plant growth, or avoid or correct problems such as erosion.
ATOMIC
Conduct experiments to develop new or improved varieties of field crops, focusing on characteristics such as yield, quality, disease resistance, nutritional value, or adaptation to specific soils or climates.
ATOMIC
Investigate soil problems or poor water quality to determine sources and effects.
ATOMIC
Investigate responses of soils to specific management practices to determine the use capabilities of soils and the effects of alternative practices on soil productivity.
ATOMIC
Conduct experiments to investigate the underlying mechanisms of plant growth and response to the environment.
ATOMIC
Identify degraded or contaminated soils and develop plans to improve their chemical, biological, or physical characteristics.
ATOMIC
Develop new or improved methods or products for controlling or eliminating weeds, crop diseases, or insect pests.
ATOMIC
Provide advice regarding the development of regulatory standards for land reclamation or soil conservation.
ATOMIC
Study soil characteristics to classify soils on the basis of factors such as geographic location, landscape position, or soil properties.
ATOMIC
Develop improved measurement techniques, soil conservation methods, soil sampling devices, or related technology.
ATOMIC
Conduct research to determine best methods of planting, spraying, cultivating, harvesting, storing, processing, or transporting horticultural products.
ATOMIC
Develop environmentally safe methods or products for controlling or eliminating weeds, crop diseases, or pests.
ATOMIC
Study ways to improve agricultural sustainability, such as the use of new methods of composting.
ATOMIC
Consult with engineers or other technical personnel working on construction projects about the effects of soil problems and possible solutions to these problems.
ATOMIC
Perform chemical analyses of the microorganism content of soils to determine microbial reactions or chemical mineralogical relationships to plant growth.
ATOMIC
Develop ways of altering soils to suit different types of plants.
ATOMIC
Conduct experiments investigating how soil forms, changes, or interacts with land-based ecosystems or living organisms.
ATOMIC
Survey undisturbed or disturbed lands for classification, inventory, mapping, environmental impact assessments, environmental protection planning, conservation planning, or reclamation planning.
ATOMIC
Plan or supervise waste management programs for composting or farming.
ATOMIC
Research technical requirements or environmental impacts of urban green spaces, such as green roof installations.
ATOMIC
Conduct experiments regarding causes of bee diseases or factors affecting yields of nectar or pollen.
ATOMIC
Identify or classify species of insects or allied forms, such as mites or spiders.
ATOMIC
Study insect distribution or habitat and recommend methods to prevent importation or spread of injurious species.
ATOMIC
Plan or supervise land conservation or reclamation programs for industrial development projects.
