Biography
Dr. Bing Si is currently working as a Professor in the Department of Soil Science, University of Saskatchewan , Ccanada. His research interests includes The overall goal of my research program is to understand the mechanisms of soil water dynamics and thermal regimes in non-level landscapes—at the pedon, hillslope (catchment) and landscape scale. At the pedon and hillslope scale, vegetation, groundwater, and soil properties significantly affect soil water dynamics and thermal regimes and the interactions between these factors are not well understood. This is particularly true in semi-arid environments where freezing and thawing occur for six months.. He /she is serving as an editorial member and reviewer of several international reputed journals. Dr. Bing Si is the member of many international affiliations. He/ She has successfully completed his Administrative responsibilities. He /she has authored of many research articles/books related to The overall goal of my research program is to understand the mechanisms of soil water dynamics and thermal regimes in non-level landscapes—at the pedon, hillslope (catchment) and landscape scale.
