Dr Callum Rees BS, MS, PhD

Lecturer in Soil Science (Pedology)

School of Agriculture and Environment

I am a earth and environmental scientist from Whanganui in the lower North Island. I focus on understanding how soils and landscapes form through time, what their key characteristics are and how we can use them sustainably. I have experience in applying field mapping and geographic information system (GIS) techniques to produce maps and farm plans. My research to date has centered around mapping physical resources on farm in the Pohangina and Rangit墨kei valleys. Currently, I am investigating erosion and landscape forming processes in the Rangit墨kei Valley and how western science can compliment M膩tauranga M膩ori.
