Alla Marchuk

Dr. Alla Marchuk is a Lecturer at the School of Agriculture and Environmental Science, University of Southern Queensland. With a PhD from the University of Adelaide (2013), her work bridges soil chemistry, environmental engineering, and food safety.

• PhD in Soil Chemistry, University of Adelaide (2013)

Research Interests: Focus on soil structural stability, arsenic mobility in agricultural systems, and irrigation water chemistry. Key areas include:

• Soil dispersion mechanisms
• Hydraulic conductivity modeling
• Biochar applications for contaminant removal
• Water quality impacts on soil health
• Development of analytical protocols

Article Trends: Recent publications emphasize arsenic speciation, hydraulic reduction in alkaline soils, and biochar modification for sustainable water treatment. Collaborative work with global researchers in environmental and agricultural engineering dominates.

Supervision: Active associate supervisor for doctoral candidates researching soil-water interactions and contaminant dynamics.
