The Science of Soil: Understanding the Major

What does a degree in Soil Science or Environmental Science get you? Students and professionals express what they've learned in the soil science major, what was challenging, and how they've used this knowledge. Includes discussion of internships, jobs with the USDA, and research topics such as carbon sequestration (removing carbon from atmosphere and storing it in soils), and drinking water remediation. "At this point in my career, I can honestly say that everything I learned as an undergraduate, I've used." -- Joel Brown, Rangeland Ecologist, NRCS, USDA "Even things like drawing, or photography. I've seen a lot of my students use their artistic skills to help communicate science concepts." -- April Ulery, Professor, Department of Plant & Environmental Science, New Mexico State University http://scienceofsoil.com http://learninggameslab.org © 2014 NMSU Board of Regents.
