Research Data, or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the PolicyTorsten Reimer

��

1) The document summarizes the development of Imperial College London's research data management policy. It involved investigating current practices through surveys and interviews, piloting small projects, and taking a flexible approach focused on practical solutions rather than strict compliance. 2) A key finding was that researchers want secure but accessible storage and sharing of research data. The policy implemented flexible infrastructure using existing tools like Box, GitHub, Zenodo and Symplectic to meet researchers' needs. 3) The approach was to make practical progress initially while continuing to learn and adapt the solutions, rather than waiting for perfect solutions or strict funder compliance.

��

The document discusses salt-affected soils in the Eurasian region, with a focus on Uzbekistan. Salt-affected soils are a major problem for agriculture and food security, affecting over 40% of irrigated croplands in Central Asia. In Uzbekistan, approximately 48% of irrigated lands are salt-affected, causing annual losses of $31 million. Recent government programs aim to improve irrigation systems and rehabilitate over 1 million hectares of degraded land through measures like deep ripping, crop diversification, and afforestation. International organizations have invested over $1 billion in water and agriculture projects to address land and water management issues in Uzbekistan.

��

The document discusses the International Network of Salt-Affected Soils (INSAS), which aims to facilitate sustainable management of salt-affected soils globally. Salinization is one of the major threats to soil resources. INSAS objectives include promoting sustainable salt-affected soil management, developing a global status report, and providing a platform for countries to discuss issues and practices. The Global Soil Partnership is working to update the global soil salinity map through training programs and an integrated soil information system.

The role and importance of INSAS for natural resource managementSoils FAO-GSP

��

The International Network for Salt-Affected Soils (INSAS) operates under the Global Soil Partnership and FAO to address the growing issue of salt-affected soils. Salt-affected soils occur in over 100 countries and threaten food security, especially in dry regions. Climate change is exacerbating the problem by reducing water availability and allowing seawater intrusion. INSAS aims to connect countries facing this issue, share best practices for managing salt-affected soils, and help ensure global food security.

The status of salt-affected soils in Africa with a focus on DjiboutiSoils FAO-GSP

��

1) Djibouti is a small country in East Africa with a population of less than one million. It has little rainfall and no surface freshwater, relying on groundwater for drinking and irrigation. 2) Soil salinity is a major problem in Djibouti, with most soils being saline or very saline due to the arid climate and lack of freshwater. This soil salinity leads to low agricultural production and food insecurity. 3) Addressing soil salinity through techniques like cover crops, mulching, and fertigation is a key factor in improving food security. Djibouti is working to establish partnerships to develop strategies to reduce soil salinity and improve soil health.

The status of salt-affected soils and spatial modelling of the soil salinity ...Soils FAO-GSP

��

This document summarizes research on mapping soil salinity variation in Senegal's peanut basin region using remote sensing data. The study area showed electrical conductivity values ranging from 40-542 mS/m. Random Forest and Kriging models were used to map soil salinity, with Random Forest performing better with a lower RMSE of 19.46 mS/m. The most important variables in the Random Forest model were spectral bands from Sentinel-2 satellite imagery, NDWI water index, and radar bands from Sentinel-1. Accurately mapping soil salinity at a national scale could help determine affected areas, develop rehabilitation strategies, and inform organizations like INSAS on soil conditions.
