 Soil, Water, Environmental and Biological Engineering        

 

  • Engineering design and modeling in the areas of water-table management, drainage, irrigation, erosion mechanics, and wetlands in the agricultural landscape, including watersheds and river systems

  • Water-table management systems, including drainage, controlled drainage, sub-irrigation, and irrigation

  • Watershed hydrology and modeling

  • Water management strategies to meet multiple objectives for sustained crop production and water-resource protection (quantity and quality)

  • Management, control, and recycling of runoff and drainage to reduce off-site impacts and provide irrigation water supply

  • Soil-water-plant relationships, and engineering properties of soils

  • Treatment and application of wastes, including microbial ecology of waste-treatment systems

  • Bioremediation of contaminated soil and water

  • Ecological engineering of agricultural systems, including constructed wetlands in the agricultural landscape

  • Engineering, ecological, and geomorphological principles applied to design and management of drainage networks, including watersheds, and stream, river, and riparian systems

  • Probabilistic methods
