Soils are a key component of the earth system. A wide range of natural science and ecosystem management disciplines require soil information resources.

The mission of soil-related research at the Earth System Science Center in the College of Earth and Mineral Sciences at The Pennsylvania State University is to serve the community of scientists and managers who require soil information in useable forms and formats.

This Web site strives to provide soil information in understandable forms which can be used by non-soil scientists.
