Chantel Chizen
Assistant Professor in Digital Pedology and Pedometrics
Hello! My name is Chantel Chizen, and I am a dedicated soil scientist and educator with a deep-rooted interest in sustainable land management. My work centers on advancing digital soil mapping, pedometrics, and our understanding of soil carbon dynamics. I am also interested in machine learning and artificial intelligence applications for soil science research. Beyond research, I am dedicated to innovative teaching strategies, mentorship, and soil science extension.
