Dr Niemann’s professional expertise lies in the fields of hydrology and geomorphology. His research focuses primarily on soil moisture variability and watershed erosion processes. Soil moisture plays a key role in flood forecasting, drought persistence, land management, non-point source pollution, and crop productivity.  Watershed erosion is an important consideration in forestry, agriculture, mining, and urban planning.  This website gives a brief overview of Dr. Niemann’s research and teaching activities in these areas.
