Summary

I am an aspiring Environmental scientist, looking to further advance my career in this field of work. I grew up in Esperance, Western Australia with many interests and hobbies. Throughout my life I have acquired many skills and attributes advantageous for a workplace, including strong communication skills, respect and reliability. Along with my knowledge throughout school and university, I have an eager interest in environmental work that can lead to a positive outcome in the world, no matter how big or small.

Soil Science/ Land Capability Assessment

Unit at UWA
  • Units which introduced applied skills through soil sampling and analysis by examining characteristics such as pH, structure and other chemical/physical properties to determine appropriate land uses based on soil formations.
  • Classification of soil properties in the field and use of laboratory techniques to determine physical and chemical soil properties such as: texture, water retention, pH and EC, phosphorus retention or cation exchange capacity.
  • Classify and map soils and landforms and relate these to land use and soil degradation such as salinisation, desertification and soil acidification. and finally perform a land capability assessment.
