Manoj Shukla
Education:
- Ph.D.: Soil Physics, University of Agricultural Sciences Vienna, Austria (1998)
- M-Tech: Soil and Water Engineering, J N. Agricultural University, India (1986)
- B.-Tech: Agriculture Engineering, J N. Agricultural University, India (1981)
Research Interests:
My major research focus is on the assessment of physical, chemical and thermal properties of soil, and chemical fate and transport in the soil. Special areas of research interest are the role of spatial and temporal heterogeneity of soil properties on plot and field-scale under different ecosystems, land use and management systems over a broad range of scales (i.e., aggregate to watershed), migration of solutes through soil profile, soil quality indicators, model calibration, and carbon sequestration in soils.
Teaching Responsibilities:
I am responsible for teaching Environmental Soil Physics (SOILS 477), Advanced Soil Physics (SOILS 652), Contaminant Transport Modeling (SOIL 655, and on occasion Introductory Soils.
