Soil Hydrology in a Changing Climate

Author Biography

Humberto Blanco is a Professor of Soil Management and Applied Soil Physics in the Department of Agronomy and Horticulture, University of Nebraska-Lincoln, USA. His research work focuses on soil physical processes and properties as well as soil C dynamics under different management practices including crop residue management, cover crops, conservation tillage, cropping systems, organic farming, conservation buffers, dedicated biofuel crops and biochar. Sandeep Kumar is an Associate Professor of Soil Biophysics and Hydrology in the Department of Agronomy, Horticulture and Plant Science at South Dakota State University, USA. He has been working on assessing conservation practices on soils and environmental quality, including soil health indicators, water quality and quantity, GHG emissions and crop productivity. In 2016 he received the Young Scholar Award from the Soil Science Society of America. Stephen H. Anderson is the William A. Albrecht Distinguished Professor of Soil and Environmental Sciences in the School of Natural Resources at the University of Missouri, USA. His current areas of research include evaluating soil management effects on soil hydraulic properties, developing X-ray computed tomography and microtomography techniques to assess pore-scale soil properties and processes, and utilising hydrologic models to evaluate effectiveness of conservation practices at the watershed scale.
