Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
Soils can be determined according to different classification systems. How do they differ and what do you need to determine them? In this course you will learn to apply the classification and characterization of soils from a given study area in the field and in the laboratory. Various processes occur in soils. What are these processes, how can you determine them, and do they vary with soil depth? We will find out using field samples in the lab.
