Soil Science, College Administration

The foundation of my research program is how land use and climate changes affect – and are affected by – soil properties and processes, with emphasis on carbon and nitrogen dynamics and wetland soils. Through this work, I have found that high-quality, high-resolution soil information is essential to contextualize, scale-up, and model field and laboratory work, so my research team has a strong focus in digital soil mapping (DSM) and soil information management.
