Dr. Merle Jensen's background includes intensive
agriculture/food support systems for developing agricultural communities
and aerospace application.
Research interests include programs in
protected agriculture, the growing of horticultural crops out of season
using agricultural plastics for modification of the microclimate.
Coinciding with these research interests is the application of new systems
of protected agriculture to developing agricultural programs throughout
the world. These research interests extend to a recent program with NASA
in comparing plant growth and reproduction in hydroponic liquid culture
versus solid media food production techniques for a "Closed Ecological
Life Support System" (CELSS).
