Nitrogen dynamics and water quality; soil-atmosphere exchange of trace gases (CO2, CH4 and N2O); biogeochemistry of restored wetlands; soil erosion and the global carbon cycle; carbon sequestration; conservation tillage and soil processes.

My research program consists of the following four areas:

• trace gas dynamics in managed and natural ecosystems
• nutrient cycling and water quality
• carbon biogeochemistry, dynamics and assessment methods
