Grant E. Cardon is an associate professor in the Department of Soil and Crop Sciences. His primary research focus is in the management of irrigation to conserve water and to minimize the impact of irrigation on the degradation of surface and groundwater and soils. Currently, he is engaged in research on nutrient
and water use projects in various regions of Colorado and on soil and water quality as impacted by acidic mine drainage. He teaches courses in Irrigation Management/Water Quality and Environmental Soils.

Dr. Cardon would be a good resource for questions about water quality and best management practices for irrigation.

Dr. Cardon joined the Colorado State Faculty in 1992. He holds a Ph.D. in Soil Science from the University of California, Riverside and a B.S. in Soil Science from Utah State University.
