Michael Goss has been appointed to fill the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food sponsored chair at the University of Guelph, and will assume the post in July. Michael Goss is recognized as a leading authority in land stewardship research. Goss earned a PhD in soil science at Reading University in 1974. He was recently head of the plant division of the Macauley Land Use Research Institute in Aberdeen, Scotland and before that was at the UK Agriculture and Food Research Council Letcombe Laboratory and the Rothamsted Experimental Station.
