Session Description: The thermal properties of agricultural land provide a wealth of information on the moisture and nutrient content of both plants and soil. Much of the progress made in various studies relating to soil-plant-nutrient-water interactions is attributable to these highly resolved temporal and spatial measurements. This symposium highlights the novel ways that thermal imaging is being used in research across a range of scales from in situ plant-level measurements, the implementation with UAVs, up to satellite imagery.
