Research interests
Agricultural Non-Point Source (NPS) pollution is an exceptionally complex problem.听 Understanding the mechanics involved in NPS pollution dynamics requires an accurate evaluation of water and pollutant pathways at the field and watershed scale.听 However, resolving these problems requires engaged agricultural producers who can recognize problems on their farms, identify cost effective solutions to fix those problems, and implement those solutions in a very competitive and complex environment.听 To do this, producers need strong management and technical skills, and they need knowledge about pollution pathways and dynamics for their geographic situation.听
My research was focused on designing, installing and operating field monitoring systems to collect data on water, sediment, nutrient and pesticide movement at the field and watershed scale.听My teaching in the FMT Program has focused on developing the analytical skills that future farm managers will need, both to manage their business and address water quality issues.
