Matthew Conley

Agronomist (Plant physiology)

Maricopa, AZ, USA

Matthew Conley (Phoenix, Arizona USA) is an Agronomist at the USDA, Agricultural Research Service, Arid-Land Agricultural Research Center, where he has worked for over 26 years supporting experimentalists, including the Free-Air Carbon Dioxide Enrichment Project (FACE), the Hot Serial Cereal project (HSC), and then developed micro-meteorological and proximal sensing platforms for in-field high-throughput plant phenotyping research to empower scientific staff for multiple experiments since 2012. Currently, he works to increase the utility of turf grass in the urban environment of the southwestern United States as part of the Water Management and Conservation Research Unit with an emphasis on proximal RGB image acquisition, and analysis.
