Brian K. Slater

Brian K. Slater's work focuses on soil science, particularly how soil physical structure, tillage practices, and land-management amendments (like gypsum) affect soil quality and aggregation over time. He also works on digital soil mapping, using GIS and machine learning to classify and predict soil types across landscapes, including projects in Ohio, Australia, and Tanzania. Prospective students would engage with topics spanning agricultural soil management, soil health assessment, and computational mapping techniques applied to land evaluation.

Publication output has been modest but fairly steady over the last decade, generally ranging from 1 to 4 papers per year without a clear upward or downward trend.
