Welcome to our web site.
Soil and Water are vital resources in urban, agricultural, and natural ecosystems. The Soil and Water Science Department (SWSD) provides highly visible leadership in teaching, research, and extension/outreach programs as related to improving the productivity of agriculture with environmentally sound management practices, improving water quality, and protection and conservation of natural resources. Our department is one of the few in the nation that offers a comprehensive research and educational programs (molecular to landscape level) involving terrestrial, wetlands and aquatic ecosystems of the landscape. Our graduates and postdoctoral fellows are well placed at universities, state and federal agencies, and private industry.
The SWSD programs are designed to meet the changing needs of our clientele at state, national and international levels. To meet new challenges and explore new opportunities, the SWSD’s research, teaching, and extension programs are focused in five areas:
-Management of Nutrients, Pesticides, and Wastes
-Remediation of Contaminated Soils, Waters, and Aquifers
-Soil Quality/Ecological Indicators
-Soil/Landscape Analysis
-Wetlands and Aquatic Systems
Our programs are supported by a number sponsors including state and federal agencies, and private industry. We extend our sincere thanks to funding agencies, sponsors, and students, who helped us to maintain high quality research, teaching, and extension programs.
