Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Michael P. Popp holds the Harold F. Ohlendorf Chair of Farm Management within the Department of Agricultural Economics and Agribusiness at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville. His research interests encompass the evaluation of alternative farming practices, with a focus on their economic and environmental implications. He has investigated the effects of conservation agriculture and pasture management on soil properties, such as infiltration, and has examined the economic and greenhouse gas emission changes associated with practices like aeration and gypsum application.

Dr. Popp's work also extends to the application of remote sensing technologies in agriculture, including methodologies for identifying winter cover crops and assessing their potential for rapid data generation. He has explored the economic viability of land use changes for carbon sequestration and has studied consumer willingness to pay for specific agricultural products, such as second-generation ethanol. His research group collaborates with other institutions and maintains an active lab website to disseminate findings.

With a career spanning several decades, Dr. Popp has published extensively, evidenced by his h-index of 29 and over 3,000 citations. He has also served as Co-Principal Investigator on a National Science Foundation grant totaling $941,348 aimed at improving student retention and graduation in STEM fields. His academic background includes degrees in Management Information Systems, Finance, and Agricultural and Resource Economics, complemented by practical experience in farm operations and cooperative management.
