Marek G. Zreda

Marek G. Zreda is a Professor in the Department of Hydrology and Atmospheric Sciences and Joint Associate Professor in Geosciences at the University of Arizona. He specializes in environmental isotopes, cosmogenic nuclide dating, and hydrological processes. His work focuses on understanding water cycles, paleoclimate, and landscape evolution through advanced neutron sensing technologies.

Education: Ph.D. in 1994 from New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology. Research interests include cosmogenic 36Cl dating, groundwater dynamics, and the application of cosmic-ray neutron sensors for soil moisture and environmental monitoring. He leads projects in diverse regions like the Arctic, Africa, and Turkey.

Key research areas involve developing neutron-based instruments (e.g., COSMOS network), studying glacial chronology, and integrating environmental data through computational tools like SoilMAP. His work bridges geology, hydrology, and atmospheric science, contributing to climate change studies and Earth system modeling.

Notable contributions include advancing cosmic-ray neutron sensing for real-time environmental monitoring and collaborating on international initiatives like the International Soil Moisture Network. His interdisciplinary approach impacts both academic research and practical applications in water resource management.
