in 1971 from the University of Wisconsin, Madison, he was an associate professor of meteorology at the Pennsylvania State University until 1978 and professor of agronomy at the University of Nebraska, Lincoln, until 1988. He conducts biophysical research involving studies of the interaction between plants and their environment, including measurements of soil, plant, and atmospheric characteristics and integrative modeling of the soil-plant-atmosphere system.

From page 61... ...
He is a pedologist with more than 40 years teaching and research experience in near-surface geoscience processes, soil diversity, and functions of soils in ecosystem management and biosphere sustainability. He has published extensively on soil spatial diversity, pedogenic quantification through micromorphology and reconstruction analyses; silica minerals as markers of parent material uniformity and paleontology; saturation, reduction, and redoximorphic features in hydric soils; pedogenic carbonate genesis and distribution; shrink-swell phenomena in Vertisols; soil mineralogy and weathering relationships; surface mine reclamation; macropore flow and environmental risks in clayey soils; and land degradation, rejuvenation, and evaluation in Africa, China, and Latin America.

His research and teaching program focuses on the development of hydropedology as an intertwined branch of soil science and hydrology that embraces interdisciplinary studies of landscape-soil-water relationships across scales. He is the chair of the Hydropedology Working Group of the Soil Science Society of America and of the International Union of Soil Sciences, an associate editor of the Soil Science Society of America Journal, and a cochair of the Committee on Soil Survey and Water Movement of the National Cooperative Soil Survey Conference.

From page 63... ...
From 1993 to 1996 he was a National Research Council postdoctoral fellow at the Naval Research Laboratory in Washington, D.C., where he focused on the investigation of magnetic materials and environmental research. In 1996 he joined the Environmental Research Division at Argonne National Laboratory near Chicago, Illinois, where he began development of the Molecular Environmental Science Research Group, an integrated multidisciplinary research group interested in making use of third-generation synchrotron radiation for environmental research.
