What we do? 

We are the Pedology and Soil Biogeochemistry Lab at Texas A&M University. SOILS are complex,  dynamic, and diverse ecosystems that connect the living and non-living world. We approach the study of soils as natural bodies by embracing their complexity, wholeness, and beauty. Our studies range from the microscale up to the landscape. We are particularly interested in the effect of human activities and disturbances on soil properties and functions.
​We are always interested in finding opportunities for new motivated students and developing enriched collaborative networks that can help us heighten our fundamental understanding of soil systems.

Our Laboratory

Our laboratory is very well equipped to perform the most common and advance analytical techniques used in Pedology and Soil Biogeochemistry. We also have a multitude of specialize field tools to collect and sample soils and collaborate with other laboratories within and outside the department that complement some of the analytical tools we regularly use in our research.
