Soil, Water, and Ecosystem Sciences

Soil, Water, and Ecosystem Sciences

Emeritus Faculty >

Robert S. Mansell

Professor Emeritus, Vadose Zone Hydrology

Program Areas

  • Research

    Departmental Research Areas:

    • Management of Nutrients, Pesticides, and Wastes
    • Wetlands and Aquatic Systems

    Research focus:
    Utilizes mathematical models and experiments to investigate the influence of coupled water and heat flows upon chemical transport in sandy Florida soils. Solutes of interest include nutrient cations/anions, and contaminants such as pesticides, organic lead and hydrazine.
