Soil Physics

Dr. Shukla serves as the technical editor of Soil Physics and Hydrology section of Soil Science Society of America. He also serves as the Consulting editor of Vadose Zone Journal. He has served as the Editor- Book Review for Vadose Zone Journal and editorial board member of NACTA (North American Colleges & Teachers of Agriculture) Journal. He was the Chair of mentoring committee of Soil Physics and Hydrology division in 2022, and member of L.R. Ahuja systems modeling award committee of the SSSA and unsaturated zone technical committee of American geophysical Union. He has previously served as a secretary of the regional coordination committee and as a presiding officer and convener at several international meetings. He is a member of many professional societies, including AGU, SSSA, and ASABE. Dr. Shukla teaches environmental soil physics and advanced soil physics regularly, as well as contaminant transport modeling, spatial variability analysis, and introductory soils on occasion. He has helped more than 35 students graduate with a master¿s degree or a PhD as Chair of their committees. His research interests are related to soil physics, spatial and temporal variability of soil properties, and water and solute transport under different land use and management systems at multiple scales. Recently, he has worked on reuse of brackish and produced waters for ensuring food security and human sustainability. He has received over $25 million as research funding from various agencies. He has coauthored a textbook, Principles of Soil Physics, edited a book, Soil Hydrology, Land Use and Management: Measurement and Modeling, and has coauthored 154 peer-reviewed journal articles and several research reports, book chapters, and proceedings papers.
