Australia takes Silver at International Soil Judging Competition

Thanks to the sponsorship provided by the Soil Science Australia, I was fortunate to be a member of the Australian team to participate in the international soil judging competition at the 22nd World Congress of Soil Science. It was a great experience to learn with some of the foremost experts in soil science particularly in soil classification and to train with the brightest emerging soil scientists from different countries. The landscape in Stirling is varied and scenic. Understanding its formation and the ecosystem functioning it supports through the lectures and soil judging field trips makes me appreciative of its beauty even more.
