| Short description: |
Professional soil science conducted under contract will very often involve one or more of the following generic activities.
•The investigation of soils in the field and their consistent description according to a recognised scheme,
•The interpretation of soil profiles, properties and conditions, soil maps and/or other soil, earth science, climatic or topographic data and information to guide the current or future use and/or management of land for a range of interests.
•The identification of the soil resources at a site prior to their excavation, storage and eventual re-instatement
The work may be at a site-specific, local, regional or national scale and may range across local land practice to national and international policy development and regulation.
This document introduces a scheme, Working with Soil, that sets out minimum qualifications, skills and knowledge which the Institute of Professional Soil Scientists considers necessary for scientists and engineers working on the above identified aspects of soil science. Eight documents form the first release and identify minimum competencies for the foundation skills of field soil investigation and a number of commonly conducted tasks.
