ENST301/302/303 Field Soil Morphology I, II, III (1 Credit)  This is a field-oriented course that introduces students to the techniques used to (1) describe soil morphology, and site and profile characteristics, (2) make land use interpretations based on soil characteristics, and (3) classify soils. This class is designed to prepare students for the Regional Collegiate Soil Judging Contest and for students to gain experience in the description and interpretation of soils in the field.

ENST309 Advanced Field Soil Morphology (1 Credit)  This is a field-oriented course that provides advanced training for students in the techniques used to (1) describe soil morphology, and site and profile characteristics, (2) make land use interpretations based on soil characteristics, and (3) classify soils. This class is designed to prepare students for the National Collegiate Soil Judging Contest and for students to gain experience in the description and interpretation of soils in the field. Students will be exposed to a variety of soil landscapes and geology from outside of the northeastern U.S.

ENST424 Field Study in Soil Morphology (4 Credits)  The fundamentals of making morphological descriptions of soils, using standard techniques, terminology, and abbreviations of the National Cooperative Soil Survey. Given a regional perspective and reasonable assumptions regarding soil properties, students should become competent to classify soils which they have described in the field and also make interpretations concerning the suitability of soils for various potential uses.

ENST430 Wetland Soils (3 Credits)  The soils of wetlands including hydrology, chemistry, and genesis are discussed. Federal and regional guidelines for wetland soils are covered with an emphasis on validating interpretations through field observations.

ENST630 Advanced Wetland Soils (3 Credits)  The soils of wetlands including hydrology, biogeochemistry, and pedogenesis, including a focused discussion of current literature. Federal and regional guidelines for wetland soils are covered with an emphasis on validating interpretations through field observations. Additional emphasis is placed on critiquing current literature on  wetland soils.

ENST761 Methods in Pedological Investigations (4 Credits)  This is designed to equip students with analytical tools for soil microfabric and mineralogical analysis in order to understand soil properties and processes. A number of techniques will be discussed, but emphasis will be placed on micromorphology and x-ray diffractometry. Both theoretical and applied considerations will be covered, and students will gain substantial hands on experience in collecting and interpreting data germane to their research interests.

ENST798 Graduate Seminar (1 Credit)  Designed to provide a venue for interactive discussion between ENST graduate students and other members of the ENST community regarding thesis/dissertation research planned or conducted as part of the student’s graduate program.

Genesis, morphology, and classification of hydromorphic soils

Pedogenesis and soil-landscape relations

Hydropedology of non-tidal wetlands and coastal marshes

Pedogenesis and resource inventory of subaqueous soils

Technology development for documenting reducing soil conditions
