Timothy Gieseke

Tim Gieseke is the Ag Water Management Extension Educator. He began this role in October 2024 and will focus on irrigation and agriculture drainage. His career prior to this role has revolved around landscape and natural resource management and agriculture's interdependent relationship with those resources. His BS in Biology and a MS in Environmental Science prepared him for careers in local soil and water conservation, agriculture production, federal farm policy, agro-ecological consulting, and natural resource management within state government. This multi-sector experience provided him with insights into the role governance plays in achieving the common goals of entities having different governance approaches. This applied research was the basis for his trilogy of books addressing the environmental, socio-economic, and governance aspects of landscape sustainability.
