Soil and Sediment Research

Soil and sediment research involves studying the particles, nutrients, contaminants, and physical properties of Earth's surface materials. Scientists analyze these materials to understand their composition, health, and how they interact with the environment. This research helps identify pollution sources, track ecological changes, and inform land use and conservation efforts. It also plays a key role in managing agricultural productivity, preventing erosion, and restoring degraded landscapes, ensuring sustainable land and water management for communities and ecosystems.
