Dr. Peng earned his PhD in hydrology and geoinformatics from Chinese Academy of Sciences. Over the years, Dr. Peng has been busy developing various modeling and forecasting tools related to agriculture, water quality and other environmental factors. These tools include:

  • Multi-scale crop modeling framework for assessing agricultural productivity and environmental sustainability
  • Crop growth models in the early system models to improve the simulation of agriculture-climate interactions
  • Seasonal forecasting system for soybean and corn crop yield at county and national scales
  • Parsimonious model to predict water quality at watershed scale

His focus at UIUC is on research that addresses agricultural water quality, engaging with farmers and other stakeholders through outreach activities, and teaching classes related to agricultural water quality. Learn more about Dr. Peng at https://pengbinpeluo.github.io/.

How Can I Become More Confident in Identifying Conservation Practices That Will Positively Impact Crop Productivity and Related Environmental Factors on My Farm?2024-11-05T10:23:03-06:00

This project aims to quantify the benefits of adopting conservation management practices at the field level. This includes how various conservation practices impact crop productivity, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, soil carbon sequestration and N leaching/water quality across the various soybean regions in Illinois. Project output will include reports farmers can use to inform their management decisions and help prepare them to take advantage of ecosystem markets, like carbon credit programs.
