What you’ll be able to do

  • Explain soil variations across the landscape within the Critical Zone

  • Explain the processes that control differences and similarities in soils

  • Summarize how soils are described, mapped, and classified

  • Explain the concepts of the soil physical properties used to describe the characteristics of soil solid, liquid, and gas phases.

  • Explain the social, economic, and/or environmental dimensions of the sustainability challenges of the Critical Zone

  • Obtain field experience in soil description and collection of soil sensor measurements to monitor water, nutrient, heat, and gas transport and heavy metal contamination in soils
