The National Science Foundation Division of Computer and Network Systems awarded Colorado State University $999,563 on September 1, 2026, under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering program (CFDA 47.070) to develop cyber-physical systems and artificial intelligence methods for detecting and managing soil salinity in irrigated agriculture. The project combines field sensors, airborne and satellite observations, scientific models, and advanced AI methods to track salinity changes and identify management actions most likely to reduce its effects. Colorado State will deliver a browser-based decision-support platform providing maps, trends, uncertainty estimates, and management scenarios to growers, including small and resource-limited farms. The research will develop AI-powered methods to convert incomplete observations into physically credible estimates and translate those estimates into feasible management recommendations. The project also includes research and training opportunities for students in computer science, civil engineering, and crop science. Performance occurs in Fort Collins, Colorado, with a period of performance from September 1, 2026, through August 31, 2029. This is a Project Grant assistance type award.
