Departmental Research Areas:
- Soil/Landscape Analysis & Pedometrics
- Carbon Dynamics and Modeling
- Soil-Water-Environmental Interactions
Research Interests:
- Carbon modeling and global climate change
- Artificial intelligence (machine learning and deep learning)
- Soil health and soil security
- Pedometrics and pedo-econometrics
- Digital soil mapping and modeling
- Soil proximal and remote sensing
- Integral landscape modeling

Specific Research Interests:
- Investigate scaling behavior of soil and environmental properties and processes across various spatial and temporal scales
- Understand carbon dynamics and model terrestrial carbon patterns and processes
- Investigate spatially‐explicit functional relationships between human‐induced stressors (such as land use and climate change) and environmental landscape factors (soil, climate, land use / land cover, terrain, geology, and hydrology)
- Gain insight into biophysical feedbacks (soil‐vegetation‐water‐atmosphere interactions) and carbon dynamics modulating sequestration and/or losses of carbon in mixed upland/aquatic ecosystems
- Analyze phosphorus and nitrogen behavior and patterns in aquatic and terrestrial systems
