The doctoral thesis of an early graduate student, published in the first issue of the Journal of Applied Physics, is now a classical work in the literature of the field of soil physics.

In 2010, he received the James B . Macelwane Medal of the American Geophysical Union ( AGU ) for outstanding contributions in surface hydrology, soil physics, and hydrometeorology, and was simultaneously elected AGU Fellow.

In January 1965, he was appointed professor and director of the Laboratory of Soil Physics of the Faculty of Agricultural Sciences at the University of Ghent, where he was in charge of lectures in soil physics and soil pollution.

To avoid confusion with the term " transfer function " used in soil physics and in many other disciplines, Johan Bouma ( 1989 ) later called it " pedotransfer function " . ( A personal anecdote hinted that Arnold Bregt from Wageningen University suggested this term ).

Most attention was given to soil physics, for example, water-holding capacities of soils, moisture requirements of plants, aeration, movement of water in soils, movement of groundwater, the drafts of plows, and the lifting power of windmills; he also began studies of soil fertility.
