It's not surprising that Hill's involvement with students doesn't end in the classroom. As the advisor for the Soil, Water, and Land Resources specialization in the Environmental Science and Policy Program, he advises 25 to 30 students at any one time. He also occasionally advises freshmen and transfer students during the summer months. And somewhere, in between teaching and advising, Hill also conducts research on such subjects as the fate of pesticides, soil erosion, and tillage management systems. His current efforts focus on modeling equilibrium and non-equilibrium sorption and transport of pesticides through turfgrass thatch and developing software for nutrient management planning implementation.
