Biography

Daniel Pennock is a Professor Emeritus of Soil Science at the University of Saskatchewan. His research focus includes landscape-scale soil processes and the spatial pattern of soil properties across varied landscapes. Pennock’s work primarily investigates how landscape topography and land use influence soil processes, hydrology, and the dynamics between static controlling factors and dynamic processes. He has a profound interest in understanding how greenhouse gas dynamics differ between natural and cultivated landscapes and aims to enhance the understanding of soil genetic processes within the major western Canadian biomes. He has contributed significantly to the field through applied research in areas such as variable rate fertilization and soil organic carbon changes due to erosion and deposition. His education includes a B.Sc. and M.Sc. from the University of Calgary, and a Ph.D. from Queen’s University.
