NC State soil science graduate student Julia Janson was awarded one of The Story Exchange’s 2023 Women in Science Incentive Prizes for her research on saltwater-affected soils. The problem with Coastal Surge Janson came to NC State’s Department of Crop and Soil Sciences to assist with carbon research for the department’s Climate Adaptation through Agriculture and Soils Management group. Janson’s work aims to help NC farmers quickly identify affected field areas and determine their best land use.
