NRES 622 - Soil Physics (3 units)
Soil physical properties as related to water and solute flow; texture, structure, specific surface, soil-water interaction, colloidal behavior.
Grading Basis: Graded
Units of Lecture: 2
Units of Laboratory/Studio: 1
Offered: Every Fall - Even Years
Student Learning Outcomes
Upon completion of this course, students will be able to:
1. communicate, in writing or verbally, an understanding of basic soil physical properties and processes related to water, gas, solute, and heat transport.
2. measure, calculate, and interpret soil physical processes using laboratory and field techniques, including texture, soil water retention, infiltration, and evaporation.
3. communicate, in writing or verbally, the ways that disturbances impact soil physical properties, and how these disturbances affect natural resources.
4. compare and contrast how changes in soil physical properties change as a result of soil morphological properties, such as horizons and orders.
5. demonstrate, in writing and orally, an advanced understanding of the topics and will be able to relate soil physical properties or processes to their research area of interest.
