He has taught advanced undergraduate / graduate level courses in Soil Hydrology & Physics, Advanced Soil Physics, Soil & Water Management & Conservation, and Soil & Water Pollution. Some of his previous research areas have examined the environmental impacts of various conservation tillage systems (runoff and sediment loss, soil physical properties, pesticide transport, etc); spatial and temporal variability of soil properties; pesticide transport in turf grass thatch systems; and neural networks for crop yield prediction. Current research includes the investigation of construction techniques to improve the efficiency of drainage ditch water nutrient removal filters and cropping management adaptations for global climate change. For the last ten years, he has worked on software solutions for nutrient management planning, simplified calculation of the phosphorus site index, computer-based annual implementation reports for nutrient management, and web-based submission of those reports into databases. Dr. Hill has done extensive international work in the last 10 years particularly in Russia and Moldova. He has received several awards acknowledging his teaching, research, and international accomplishments. He has served the tri-societies as an Associate Editor of SSSAJ, Chair of Division S-6 (Soil &Water Conservation), Board representative for the North Eastern Branch (NEB) of the Soil Science Society of America, a member of the SSSA Rapid Response Team, and served as a member on numerous society committees. He was elected a Fellow of ASA in 2003. Dr. Hill will serve as President of NEB ASA-SSSA-CSSA from 2010-2011.
