Contaminant load estimation, global crop production comparison, food security index, catchment water quality risk, and nutrient export modeling — grounded in USDA FAS, FAO, and global monitoring data.
Quantify nitrogen, phosphorus, and sediment export loads from farmed catchments, comparing high-frequency sensor-derived estimates against traditional monthly sampling to reveal the 6–87% underestimation gap documented in Dare, Özkundakci & McDowell (2026).
Benchmark a country's crop yield performance against global and US averages using USDA FAS PSD data to identify yield gaps, production efficiency differentials, and import/export potential across six major commodities in 13 countries.
Compute a composite food security score using USDA ERS availability, access, utilization, and stability indicators aligned with the USDA ERS International Food Security Assessment framework for six global regions.
Assess estuarine and waterway contamination risk by integrating land use intensity, slope, riparian buffer condition, fertilizer load, and receiving water sensitivity into a composite risk score aligned with USDA NRCS watershed assessment frameworks.
Estimate annual nitrogen and phosphorus export coefficients by land use type, rainfall regime, and soil permeability using global nutrient budget literature and USDA ERS international agricultural data to support watershed-scale nutrient management planning.
