Research statement:

I lead the Nutrient Management Spear Program, the applied research and extension program of the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences at Cornell University. My interests are in development of decision tools and on-farm research approaches for use by farmers, farm advisors, and policy makers with the mission to aid in implementation of strategies for field crop nutrient management, to improve farm profitability and competitiveness while protecting the environment.

Education:

  • Ph.D. (Environmental Sciences). Ohio State University (OSU). December 10, 1999.
  • M.Sc. (Soil and Water, with Distinction). Wageningen University and Research Center, the Netherlands. October 23, 1992.
  • Ingenieurs (B.Sc. in Tropical and Subtropical Agriculture) International Agricultural College Deventer (Currently: Internationale Hogeschool Larenstein), the Netherlands. January 26, 1990.

Book Chapters:
