    Research Interests

    The quantification of soil behaviour, particularly the prediction of water and solute movement and the fate of agricultural chemicals and fertilisers. Interpretation and inference of soil properties from basic soil data collected during soil survey. Creation, adaptation and testing of computer simulation models for predicting chemical fate in soils, e.g. pesticides, nitrogen species and, in irrigated soils, inorganic ions which may lead to salinity problems. Soil-plant-water relationships, the effects of irrigation on soil and water quality, and the characterisation of the physical properties of soils for soil and land classification purposes. Combining simulation models and GIS.
