Dr. Ray Anderson is a Research Soil Scientist at USDA-ARS, US Salinity Laboratory in Riverside and an Adjunct Professor in the Department of Environmental Sciences at the University of California, Riverside. Before coming to Riverside, Dr. Anderson worked as a Research Associate (Research Hydrologist) at ARS-Parlier and at the University of California, Irvine, and the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities. Dr. Anderson’s research methods integrate direct field measurements, micrometeorological techniques, satellite remote sensing, and climatic observations to research agricultural input use and productivity at field to regional scales.
