Keywords: Gamma Ray Spectrometry (GRS) Cosmic Ray Neutron Sensing (CRNS) Soil hydrology Remote sensing Precision irrigation

Gamma Ray Spectrometry (GRS): mapping the spatial variability of soil properties through the measurement of gamma-ray emissions and soil moisture changes monitoring.

Cosmic Ray Neutron Sensing (CRNS): soil moisture monitoring by detecting neutrons produced in the soil through interactions with cosmic rays.

Soil hydrology: laboratory analysis of soil samples and implementation of hydrological models to support irrigation planning and management.

Remote sensing: implementation of methods for monitoring crops and the water content of agricultural systems using satellite imagery.
