Martin C Rabenhorst

Martin C Rabenhorst, Professor at the University of Maryland's College of Agriculture and Natural Resources, specializes in Environmental Science & Technology. His career spans pedogenesis, hydropedology, and soil survey innovations.

• Ph.D. (1983, Texas A&M)
• M.S. (1978, University of Maryland)
• B.S. (1975, University of Maryland)

Research focuses on hydromorphic soils, pedogenesis in tidal and subaqueous environments, and redoximorphic feature analysis. He pioneered IRIS (Indicator of Reduction in Soils) technology for environmental monitoring.

Key publication trends since 2021 include:

• Advancements in subaqueous soil-landscape modeling
• Refinements to Soil Taxonomy for hydric soils
• Development of Fe/Mn oxide-coated films for redox assessment
• Studies on carbon dynamics in coastal wetlands

His work intersects soil survey, wetland restoration, and pedological modeling, with recent emphasis on Chesapeake Bay subestuaries and blue carbon accounting.
