Course description
Environmental engineering problems are very often located in a geological framework and in contact with the fluid layers of the Earth, where edaphic soils are formed. The products of geological activity (geological materials -minerals, rocks and soils-, geological structures and landforms) and the most important geological processes (magmatism, tectonics, erosion-sedimentation) are studied, including those that are potentially dangerous for the society. The objective of soil science is the edaphic soils, which form the skin of the earth's crust and which are essential for life. This module studies the different characteristics of soils (mineralogy, chemistry, texture and structure, physical properties, biology and ecology), the typology of soils, their formation and evolution processes, and degradation problems.
