About

We study how soils change across landscapes and over time through interdisciplinary research combining soil science, carbon research, soil–landscape modelling, sensing and spectroscopy, geostatistics, environmental machine learning, and mechatronic engineering.

Research and Teaching Focus

We investigate the spatial and temporal dynamics of soils to advance mechanistic understanding of soil processes and ecosystem functioning. Our research integrates field experiments, laboratory analyses, sensing technologies, and modelling to examine how soil physical, chemical, and biological processes interact to regulate soil health, soil carbon dynamics, and ecosystem resilience. We develop and deploy advanced measurement systems and mechatronic technologies to enable high-resolution monitoring of soil processes across scales. By combining soil–landscape analysis with process-based and data-driven modelling, we develop practical solutions for sustainable land management, carbon stewardship, and restoration of degraded systems.

Our teaching is closely aligned with our research mission. We teach an undergraduate course on soils, landscapes and surface environments, soil processes, and environmental modelling. We also supervise Honours, MSc, and PhD students, providing advanced training in field and laboratory methods, environmental data science, spatial analysis, sensing technologies, and scientific communication. We prepare graduates for careers in research, environmental management, and sustainable land stewardship
