The Kansas State University Hydropedology and Root Ecology Research Group is seeking one graduate student interested in exploring the presence of field indicators of hydric soils in interdunal wetlands in central Kansas, and investigating the expression of redox features as a function of time-since-exposure to oxygen in soils across the North Central region of the US. The prospective student will sample, describe, and characterize soils and use the Hydric Soil Technical Standard to document the presence of field indicators of hydric soils, hydrophytic plants, and wetland hydrology.
