Assistant Professor of Pedology

Ph.D, Virginia Tech, 1990

Dr. Stolt's research interests are in the application of soil genesis and morphology to environmental issues such as water quality, drastically disturbed land reclamation, wetland delineation, wetland mitigation, hydric soil identification, and urban and rural development. His basic research has focused on the fate of Fe, Mn, and C in hydric soils, the genesis of Miocene-aged paleosols, the effect of sea level rise on former upland soils, the genesis of deep regolith, and the geomorphology of Pleistocene-aged surfaces, soils, and regoliths.
