Before becoming a University, Riverside was home to the UC Citrus Experiment Station. The post-colonial landscape of Riverside was predominantly citrus growing epicenter after the successful introduction of Washington navel orange varieties from Brazil, which grow really well in sandy, well drained soils and the warm climate of Riverside. To this day, this variety is still grown in the region and much of my work is investigating the methods of irrigating these orange orchards. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef3cf5e444b3d2d960b8122/31e0a85c-2824-4976-979d-a577de41ab78/GraphicalAbstract_Orchards_Avila.jpg Current projects - Make it stand out The extreme soil moisture conditions in a furrow irrigated orchard.
