Education
A.A. Journalism, 1963, Grand Rapids Jr. College, Michigan
B.S. Forestry, 1966, University of Maine
M.S. Soils, 1968, University of Maine
Ph.D. Forest Soils 1972, University of Washington
Teaching and Research Overview
In the fall I teach Soils & Environmental Quality and in the spring of odd-numbered years I teach Environmental Biogeochemistry. In the fall of 2008, I taught Pedology, including the two lab sections, and the pedology component of General Soil Science. I advise five PhD candidates.
Current research includes:
- carbon pools in soils of arctic Alaska
- soil formation in Antarctica
- sand-wedge casts and paleoenvironments in Patagonia
- biogeochemistry of canopy gaps in Upper Michigan
- soil properties for predicting age of faults in southern California
