FAESS Hydric Soil Workshops

About the Workshops:
These workshops are an unparalleled opportunity to gain first-hand experience with soil-based indicators of wetness. You will be guided by expert soil scientists, researchers, and professors as they provide lecture material and field experiences you simply can’t get elsewhere. The workshop is held each spring in a different location around the state, giving you the opportunity to observe soils in their various forms, each responding slightly differently to saturation.
Who Should Attend:
Environmental consultants, engineers, DOH personnel, university students, and anyone else seeking to better understand the subtle, yet important soil-based indicators of wetness.

 

Future Workshop: 2012 – New Port Richey, FL
Past Workshops: 2011 – Quincy, FL

2009 – Seminole County
2008 and older information not available at this time.

Above: S6 (Stripped Matrix) and S5 (Sandy Redox) Hydric Soil Indicators. These indicators are frequently used to delineate wetlands in Peninsular Florida. These morphologies can be observed in deeper zones of the non-hydric soils to indicate a water table. Exposure to these important, yet subtle morphologies is a main benefit of the workshop
