Biography
Gilbert C Sigua is a Research Soil Scientist at the USDA-ARS Coastal Plains Soil, Water, and Plant Research Center in Florence, South Carolina, USA. His research
program focuses on both the short-term and long-term solutions to enhancing agricultural and environmental sustainability and improving water and nutrient management
in humid region. He is a nationally and internationally recognized expert and authority in his field because of his work on agricultural, ecological and environmental
management research as evidenced by his various international projects in Brazil, Australia, Philippines, Japan and Cambodia. His scholarly achievements and expertise
have been widely recognized through numerous honors and a testimony to this, he was recently awarded major fellowship awards, to wit: a) Fellow ofAmerican
Society of Agronomy; b) Fulbright Fellow; c) Japan Society for Promotion of Science Fellow; d) Balik Scientist Fellow; and e) Fellow of Soil Science Society of America.
