In SOIL GENESIS we will focus on identifying glacial landforms with their relationship to general kinds of soil, learning to predict soil types based on their landscape position. This will be applied both in the classroom and in the field. Students will get an understanding of how soils develop over time, as influenced by physical, chemical, biological, and climatic factors, with an emphasis on identifying diagnostic horizons. Topics include the natural processes of weathering, illuviation, podsolization and redox reactions that produce characteristic soil morphologies.

Soil Genesis or Basic Soil Morphology are prerequisites for UNH Professional Development and Training courses in Soil Taxonomy and Soil Mapping.
