DescriptionFilter
  
This is a non-lab course that studies the nature of the Earth and its development through time. It examines the Earth's origins and composition, in addition to volcanoes, earthquakes, and development of the landscape over time by such processes as weathering, mass wasting, rivers, glaciers, wind and waves.
 
First Year
  
This course examines the physical and chemical properties of soils and methods of evaluation.
Physical topics include the movement of water, heat, gases, and solutes through soil. Chemistry topics
include solid and solution speciation, mineral solubility, ion exchange, and oxidation-reduction
reactions in soils.
Third Year
  
Irrigation practice related to Florida agriculture. The course deals with irrigation system characteristics, management, maintenance, and economics.
Fourth Year
  
This course concentrates on the ecological importance of water, thermal water properties, solution physical laws, such as vapor pressure, solution potential and latent heat. It tackles the plants relation with the soil’s physical properties, as in apparent specific gravity, soil compactness, soil water and soil temperature regimes, soil water replenishment of the roots and the mechanisms of water transport within the soil-plant system. The course discusses the factors affecting ET and the technology employed in ET reduction, the direct measuring of ET’s depletion, lysimeter and pan evaporation.
