My core research interest is in the improvement of the model-data-process background of environmental modeling towards better water (quality and quantity) and resource management in agriculture and the environment. I have worked in an international cultural and research environment for over 25 years.



Current research interests include:

Quantitative characterization of soil pore systems and soil structural development
Exploration of climate-soil feed-backs, with focus on soil structure
Characterization of flow pathways in field soils (e.g. agricultural areas, buffer-zones, etc.)
Standardization of measurement methods in soil physics
Improving the effectiveness of retention pond – wetland systems in retaining sediment and nutrients
Database management, data harmonization and quality assurance
Exploration of complex data sets using machine learning techniques
