Professor Stephen Nortcliff is Professor of Soil Science and Head of the Department of Soil Science at the University of Reading and also Adjunct Professor of Soil Science at Clemson University, South Carolina, USA.
Since 2002, Professor Nortcliff has been Secretary General of the International Union of Soil Sciences, succeeding Professor Winfried Blum.
Professor Nortcliff has worked across many areas of Soil Science but in recent years has focused on the broad area of contaminated land and organic additions (sewage sludge and compost) to soil.
In this context he is currently involved in the European Commission Project Horizontal, coordinating work on the sampling of sludges and biowastes.
In 2003, the European Commission published the proceedings of a conference co-edited by Professor Nortcliff entitled ‘Applying Composts – Benefits and Needs’, a companion document produced under contract for the Austrian Government in collaboration with Florian Amlinger will review ‘The Beneficial Use of Composts’.
Professor Nortcliff has had a very active involvement in the work on the EC’s Thematic Strategy for Soil Development, co-chairing the Working Group on Organic Matter and Biodiversity. | | Areas of interest: | | soil science | | sewage sludge and compost | | |
