Urban soils and soil health with Dr. Vanaja Kankarla (Feb 3, 2026)

Urbanization is rapidly reshaping soils beneath our cities, with real consequences for food production, water quality, and climate resilience—and this lecture dives into what urban soil health is, how urban soils differ from natural soils, and how we can manage them better. Dr. Vanaja Kankarla, an Assistant Professor of Soil Science at Florida Gulf Coast University, brings expertise in agronomy, soil fertility, nutrient management, and crop–weed interactions to unpack these issues. She is an award-winning researcher and an active mentor and educator, offering a clear, research‑grounded look at the challenges and opportunities in urban soil management.
