Bing Si is a Professor in the College of Agriculture and Bioresources at the University of Saskatchewan. His research focuses on understanding the mechanisms of soil water dynamics and thermal regimes in non-level landscapes at the pedon, hillslope, and landscape scales. He emphasizes the influence of vegetation, groundwater, and soil properties on these dynamics, particularly in semi-arid environments where freezing and thawing occur for extended periods. Currently, his work investigates the physical and hydrological characteristics of soils that support ecosystems, especially in Boreal re-vegetated areas. His applications include the reclamation of mining wastes through the use of coarse-textured cover materials and improving soil water storage capacity with layered soils. He also explores the hydrophobicity of soil materials and evaluates soil water balances in hydrocarbon-affected reclamation soils at a watershed scale.
