Dr Callum Rees BS, MS, PhD
Lecturer in Soil Science (Pedology)
School of Agriculture and EnvironmentI 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 Rangitīkei valleys. Currently, I am investigating erosion and landscape forming processes in the Rangitīkei Valley and how western science can compliment Mātauranga Māori.
