Daniel J. Pennock

Biography

Dr. Daniel J. Pennock is currently working as a Emeritus Professor in the Department of Soil Science, University of Saskatchewan , Ccanada. His research interests includes focus is on landscape-scale soil processes and the spatial pattern of soil properties that results from the action and interaction of these processes. The landscape is primarily defined by topography and land use, and these two factors in turn control and regulate the primary control on the occurrence and rate of soil processes, hydrology. The complex interaction between relatively static controlling factors and dynamic processes is the core of the research work, which can be applied to diverse topics such as variable rate fertilization, soil organic carbon change and soil erosion and deposition. Current research areas include greenhouse gas dynamics in natural and cultivated landscapes and improving our understanding of the soil genetic processes (and resulting soils) that occur at the boundaries between major western Canadian biomes.. He /she is serving as an editorial member and reviewer of several international reputed journals. Dr. Daniel J. Pennock is the member of many international affiliations. He/ She has successfully completed his Administrative responsibilities.

Research Interest

My focus is on landscape-scale soil processes and the spatial pattern of soil properties that results from the action and interaction of these processes. The landscape is primarily defined by topography and land use, and these two factors in turn control and regulate the primary control on the occurrence and rate of soil processes, hydrology.
