About
Prof. Dr. Uttam Kumar Saha is the Public Service Associate (Associate Professor) and Program Coordinator, at Agricultural and Environmental Services Laboratories, University of Georgia. Dr. Saha has over 27 years of research, teaching, and outreach experience in soil fertility and crop production, hydroponic production of greenhouse vegetables, water quality, remediation of metal-contaminated soils and waters, management of solid wastes, synthesis of engineered clay particles for environmental applications, colloid interfacial reactions influencing transformation and transport of nutrients and pollutants in terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, and some other topics of soil-water-environmental sciences in Bangladesh, Japan, Canada and USA. He is the author/co-author of as many as 85 peer-reviewed journal articles and many extension publications. The newly added work area of Dr. Saha is testing well waters and making necessary recommendations, including appropriate water treatment systems, for an estimated 1.8 million Georgians relying on their private wells for their drinking water.
Research Interest
Soil fertility and crop production, hydroponic production of greenhouse vegetables, water quality, remediation of metal-contaminated soils and waters, management of solid wastes, synthesis of engineered clay particles for environmental applications, colloid interfacial reactions influencing transformation and transport of nutrients and pollutants in terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, etc.
