Can we save the world by saving soils? Students will get answers to this question by studying fundamental soil properties and processes that impact the production of greenhouse gasses, as well as explore ways that soils can be used to mitigate climate change. Students will develop an understanding of soil processes, soil microbial communities, global carbon cycle and carbon sequestration, carbon stocks and credits, as well as sustainable soil management practices. This course is open to all undergraduate students.
