Why it matters: Every structure relies on the soil beneath it, making geotechnical engineering crucial for safety, durability, and performance. What’s involved: Engineers assess subsurface conditions, ...

Agricultural soil testing is critical to determining soil’s nutrient concentration and variability across your fields. It is ideal to test your fields’ soil at least every two to three years to inform ...

Transparent soil modelling represents a significant advance in geotechnical research, enabling scientists to observe and quantify the internal behaviour of soil systems under various loading and ...

Artificial intelligence is rapidly advancing geotechnical engineering by enabling more accurate soil behavior modeling, streamlining site investigations, and improving design safety. Recent ...

To grow good plants, you need good soil. The only way to tell what your soil really needs is to take a soil test. Applying too much fertilizer could be detrimental to your plants. You could waste ...

The University of Delaware (UD) has rated soils in terms of the likelihood of profitable responses to additions of phosphorus (P) and potassium (K) from fertilizers, manures, and other soil amendments ...

Over three days in late March, four Los Angeles Times environment reporters and an editor fanned out across the Eaton and Palisades burn scars to collect 40 soil samples from residential properties: ...

During the NCC Extension Office move, clients may drop off soil and plant samples at Townsend Hall on the University of Delaware College of Agriculture and Natural Resources campus. Drop-off location: ...
