H. Dan Scott is a university professor of soil physics in
the Department of Crops, Soil, and Environmental Sciences at the
University of Arkansas, Fayetteville. Dr. Scott's research
interests cover most aspects of soil-water crop relationships. His
studies include geographical information systems in agriculture and
natural resources, the effects of tillage and crop management
practices on the spatial and temporal variability of soil physical
properties, and the modeling of pesticide movement to surface and
ground waters.
