My extension program in environmental soil science works with clientele from agriculture, industry, municipal governments, state service and regulatory agencies, and the general public. The program seeks to provide unbiased information and advice on issues that impact sustainable use and conservation of our soil resources, remediation and reclamation of polluted and degraded soils such a brownfields and mined lands, and soil based recycling of residual materials from agricultural, municipal, and industrial waste streams. I maintain an applied research program designed to support my extension and outreach activities. On this site you will find links to both current and previous extension and research projects, our publications and educational materials, and information about the people working in my group.
I also teach Introduction to Soils (Soils 101) to about 160 students each semester.
