Associate Professor

Dr. Teamrat Ghezzehei is an American earth scientist and the Associate Professor of Environmental Soil Physics at the University of California, Merced. Teamrat specializes in soil physics, agroecology, and environmental stewardship. Teamrat’s research interest is in the movement and transformation of mass and energy in porous media at a fundamental level, as well as their application to environmental- and energy-related problems. The scale of his interest ranges from sub-pore scale dynamics of water-gas interfaces to water flow and solute transport at scales of tens of meters. The scope of his research includes Laboratory, Field Experiments, Theory, and Computational Modeling.
