Have you ever wondered what soil can actually tell us?

Join the Queensland Chief Scientist and a panel of experts as we introduce you to our State Soils Collection and dig into the mysteries beneath our feet.

Your experts:

• Dr Evan Thomas, Science Leader Soil and Land Resources, Science Division, DES
• Dr Zeinab Khalil, Co-director of Soils for Science and Senior Research Fellow, University of Queensland
• Craig Thornton, Senior Scientist, Paddock Modelling and Monitoring, DES
• Bronwyn Bosomworth, Senior Scientist, Paddock Modelling and Monitoring, DES

The panel will discuss:

• Digitising the State Soils Collection, digital data and mapping initiatives. What does this involve and what does it mean for researchers and the community?
• How the collection is managed and stored. Why do we have an archive?
• Local agriculture and farming trials and what has been found
• Science education and careers

We will also be showcasing some of our soils collection for you to see!
