Graduate Study. The Graduate Group in Soil Science offers programs of study and research leading to the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees. Soil science focuses on the physical, chemical and biological processes that govern the quality and distribution of soils in relation to landform evolution, geochemical environments, and organism habitats. Research in soil science includes the study of soil as a global natural resource, as a critical component of the environment, and as a resource to sustain agricultural and wildland ecosystems. Students may specialize in environmental quality; soil physics; soil chemistry; soil genesis, morphology and classification; soil fertility and plant nutrition; soil microbiology and biochemistry; soil-plant-water relationships; or general soil science. For detailed information regarding the programs, address the chairperson of the group.
