Soil Physics, Biometeorology

  • Much of my research is currently focused on the carbon balance, water use, water quality and energy balance of corn/soybean systems, and how they can be modified to provide both food and bioenergy without detrimental impacts on soil or water resources. We are investigating management practices like cover cropping and companion cropping,using field-scale micrometeorological and hydrological techniques to measure exchange processes on a year-round basis.
