My research program has been devoted to examination of the spatial distribution and variability of soil characteristics in the urban environment. My major project areas included investigations of the scale of contaminant distribution patterns in relation to soil forming factors and processes as well as landuse, landcover and land tenure characteristics (distributions appears to be scale dependent and based on a assortment of variables) in a variety of urban centers in the Northeast, the Mid-Atlantic, the Mid-West and Eastern Europe.

My instructional activities has been directed to introductory Soil Science and advanced Pedology courses for both major and non-major students. I also provide additional lecture and field support to other land resource or management based courses within the Agricultural College.
