Gerhard Kammerer

Gerhard Kammerer is an Assistant Professor at the Institute of Soil Physics and Rural Water Management, part of the Department of Agricultural Sciences at the University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences, Vienna (BOKU). His research focuses on soil physics and hydrology, particularly in agricultural contexts.

• BOKU organizational units: Institute of Soil Physics and Rural Water Management, Institute of Soil Research, Experimental Farm Groß-Enzersdorf

Research Interests include soil hydraulic properties, vadose zone dynamics, groundwater recharge, irrigation systems, root-soil interactions, and sustainable land use. His work addresses both theoretical and applied aspects of soil-water management.

Article Trends show expertise in

• Soil hydraulic property modeling

Scientific Awards:

• Hochschuljubiläumsstiftung der Stadt Wien (2007)

Advising & Grants: Supervised numerous theses on soil-water systems and participated in 25+ projects funded by Austrian Science Fund (FWF), Austrian Research Promotion Agency (FFG), and federal ministries. Notable projects include "Vadose zone characterization for groundwater vulnerability" and "Hydraulic effects of root-soil interactions".

Labs & Teams: Works with BOKU's hydrology and soil physics teams, contributing to lysimeter networks and soil-vegetation-atmosphere research. Collaborates with international institutions in Slovenia, Italy, and the U.S.
