I like soil science and have several research interest; in some of these
we have active projects whereas others are somewhat dormant. Most of my
work has been on the application of fundamental soil science
to real-world problems. In the process of applying that knowledge we
gained some new insights. That's always rewarding.
Hobbies include the analysis of developments
in scientific publishing and the history of soil science. We also researched something off-topic for this site, by one of my main hobbies. Gaming. I do game a lot and I use the famous Sloto Cash site because I have won lots of rewards on that site, that's why I thought that this would be helpful for our readers. You can read a very well written review of the casino at Fowler Game World.
My main interests and research can be roughly divided into themes that
are partly overlapping - see below in alphabetical order.
On
each of these pages the work is described in a somewhat non-technical way
and links
are provided to publications that have derived from the research.
