4.00 Credits
Two hours of lecture and three hours of laboratory per week. Prerequisite: ENST200 (formerly NRSC200). Credit will be granted for only one of the following: ENST415 or NRSC415. Formerly NRSC415. Introduction to geospatial analysis of soil and related resources. Topics will include understanding the nature and portrayal of digital soils data in soil surveys, the use, analysis, and application of soil survey and other spatial data types (topography, hydrography, etc.), uncertainty and validation of spatial data, and methods in geospatial analysis such as mapping, landscape analysis, and spatial statistics. Analyses will be performed primarily with ESRI ArcGIS software.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisites: ENST200 (formerly NRSC200) and a course in physics; or permission of department. Credit will be granted for only one of the following: ENST417 or NRSC417. Formerly NRSC417. A study of soil water interactions: the hydrologic cycle; the unique properties of water and soil; the soil components and their interactions; the field water cycle; transport processes involving water, heat and solutes; human effects on soil and groundwater; as well as the measurement, prediction, and control of the physical processes taking place in and through the soil.
-
1.00 Credits
Pre- and corequisites: ENST417 (formerly NRSC417). Credit will be granted for only one of the following: ENST420 or NRSC420. Formerly NRSC420. A study of methods used in measuring static and dynamic soil physical properties. Implications from hands-on mastery of these techniques include an increased understanding of soil physical components, soil-water interactions, as well as the measurement, prediction, and control of the physical processes taking place in and through the soil.
-
4.00 Credits
Prerequisite: ENST200 (formerly NRSC200). Credit will be granted for only one of the following: ENST421 or NRSC421. Formerly NRSC421. The chemistry and composition of mineral and organic colloids in soils, including ion exchange, oxidation-reduction, acidity, surface charge, and solution chemistry. Lectures and readings pertain to plant nutrition, waste disposal, and groundwater quality.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: ENST200 (formerly NRSC200), CHEM104 or permission of department. Credit will be granted for only one of the following: ENST422 or NRSC422. Formerly NRSC422. Relationship of soil microorganisms to the soils' physical and chemical properties. Nitrogen fixation, mycorrhizae-plant interactions and microbially mediated cycling.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisites: ENST200 (formerly NRSC200) and CHEM104; or permission of department. Credit will be granted for only one of the following: ENST423 or NRSC423. Reaction and fate of pesticides, agricultural fertilizers, industrial and animal wastes in soil and water with emphasis on their relation to the environment.
-
4.00 Credits
Prerequisite: ENST200 (formerly NRSC200). Credit will be granted for only one of the following: ENST424 or NRSC424. Formerly NRSC424. 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.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: one course in biology; and CHEM103 or CHEM131 and CHEM132; or permission of department. Credit will be granted for only one of the following: ENST425 or NRSC425. Formerly NRSC425. Biologically based methods for the remediation of contaminated soil. Bioremediation using bacteria, fungi and higher plants, of both organic and inorganic contaminants in soil will be addressed.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: One course in hydrology or permission of department. Also offered as ENBE462. Credit will be granted for only one of the following: ENBE462 or ENST427. Various techniques to measure non-point source pollution, quantify mass transport, and statistically evaluate water quality criteria. Primary focus is on agriculture and water, but urban NPS pollution is addressed.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: ENST200 (formerly NRSC200). Credit will be granted for only one of the following: ENST430 or NRSC461. Formerly NRSC461. The soils of wetlands including hydrology, chemistry, genesis, and taxonomy are discussed. The understanding of federal and regional guidelines to wetland soils are covered with an emphasis on validating interpretations through field observations.
