Instructor Profile.

Preston is currently a Research Associate at the University of Saskatchewan, where he is conducting research related to predictive soil mapping in the Canadian Prairies since January 2020. Preston has a B.Sc. in Land Use and Environmental Studies from the University of Saskatchewan, a M.Sc. in Soil Science from the University of Alberta, and a Ph.D. in Soil Science from the University of Alberta. His research has focused on improving maps of soil properties, using the resulting data to improve understanding of soil dynamics from landscape to provincial scales, and linking mapping results with biogeochemical models to forecast soil carbon change over time. He is also actively involved in the development of data analysis tools for the analysis of soil contaminant data including the mapping and visualizing of contaminants. Preston specializes in the use of machine learning and modelling to solve complex soil and environmental data analysis challenges. He is a registered member of the Saskatchewan Institute of Agrologists.
