Soil System Science Division Blog

Welcome to the blog of the Soil System Sciences (SSS) Division of the European Geosciences Union (EGU).

After some germination period we are back to action and ready to flower!

Soils are key to the functioning of the Earth system and provide the food and fibre supply for humankind. The importance of soils to both people and the environment makes soil scientists and their research fundamental to society. Here, we bring soil science into the public eye, detailing the latest research in the field, straight from the scientists!

The aim of the SSS blog is to:

Promote SSS-EGU activities.
Promote communication and scientific interchange among world-wide soil scientists.
Provide a forum for dissemination of information and soil-related activities.

We are looking for guest authors, editors and proofreaders. Get in touch!
