This course covers soil genesis and classification using the Canadian System of Soil Classification. Relationships between observable soil features and the major soil forming factors are explained and described. Classification hierarchy is studied using a comprehensive look at the occurrence and interrelations of soil orders, great groups and subgroups on Alberta landscapes. Students will learn how representative soil samples are acquired from the environment and analysed in a laboratory setting. Students will also learn how to interpret the data acquired from field observations and the laboratory using the fundamental concepts of soil genesis.

This course covers soil genesis and classification using the Canadian System of Soil Classification. Relationships between observable soil features and the major soil forming factors are explained and described. Classification hierarchy is studied using a comprehensive look at the occurrence and interrelations of soil orders, great groups and subgroups on Alberta landscapes. Students will learn how representative soil samples are acquired from the environment and analysed in a laboratory setting. Students will also learn how to interpret the data acquired from field observations and the laboratory using the fundamental concepts of soil genesis. 

Prerequisite(s):
Note: This course can not be used as a General Science Option.
