Professional Summary

Specialty:
Soil Physics and Hydrology

Research:
My research program focuses on developing useful applications of meteorological, soil moisture, and soil physical property data and studying the influence of soil moisture on various components of the hydrological cycle and soil health. This includes the use of in-situ and remote sensing data to quantify the magnitude of components of the soil water balance and surface energy balance, including evapotranspiration (ET), soil water storage, deep drainage, and runoff, and to determine how these components vary in time and space. The overarching goal of my research program is to provide useful information and tools that will allow fellow researchers, land and water managers, and the public to better steward the increasingly threatened soil and water resources of our planet.

Teaching:
I teach SCSC 309 (Water in Soil and Plants). The course is designed to introduce undergraduate students to fundamental concepts related to water movement in soils, soil-plant-atmosphere interactions, evapotranspiration, and plant water use. I have also introduced a new SCSC 689 – Special Topics in Field and Laboratory Methods in Soil Physics.
