Background
Ph.D., Soil Science, Ohio State University, 1995

Specialties
Environmental Soil Science, Soil Biochemistry, Soil Geomorphology.

Research Interests
Biogeochemical cycling of carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus in terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems.

Research Program Course Information
Nitrogen dynamics and water quality; soil-atmosphere exchange of trace gases (CO2, CH4 and N2O); biogeochemistry of restored wetlands; soil erosion and the global carbon cycle; carbon sequestration; conservation tillage and soil processes.

My research program consists of the following four areas:

  • trace gas dynamics in managed and natural ecosystems
  • nutrient cycling and water quality
  • carbon biogeochemistry, dynamics and assessment methods
  • biogeochemistry of restored ecosystems
