Biography

Dr. Rainer Horn is currently a Professor for Soil Science (Chair) at Institute of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, Christian Albrechts University zu Kiel, Germany. He works in the broad area of Soil Physics: soil mechanics: stress strain effects in structured soils, soil structure effects, chemical as well as hydraulic processes in structured soils, unsaturated 3 dimensional flow and transport processes, waste deposit management capping systems, soil tillage effects on soil properties, soil hydraulic properties, chemical and biological aspects of soil aggregates. He has published more than 200 papers in reviewed journals, 58 bookchapters, and 12 books apart from more than 70 unreviewed papers and reports. Dr. Horn was the president of international soil & tillage research organization (ISTRO), and president of Germany Soil Science Society, and is now president of international union of soil science (IUSS).
