Dr. Chadwick's research interests include pedology, soil geomorphology, soil geochemistry, quaternary geology, organic and mineral fluxes during soil, atmosphere, water and vegetation interaction. He has clearly established himself as a leader in soil science, and is one of the world leaders in relating soils to ecology and earth system science. Professor Chadwick has become one of the core members of a small, but growing and extremely high quality group in ecosystem studies at UCSB.
