This webinar will demonstrate how soils can be used to broaden students' 
understanding of the Earth system and human impacts on this system. Kathryn 
Baldwin is the author of the InTeGrate module Soils, Systems, and Society . 
Hannah Scherer and Martha Murphy are authors of the InTeGrate module A Growing 
Concern: Sustaining Soil Resources through Local Decision Making . Drawing from 
these two InTeGrate modules, the presenters will discuss how soils, soil health 
and soil sustainability provide unique opportunities for engaging students and 
developing their systems thinking. Examples from the modules show how local 
data can be used to elucidate abstract concepts and how systems thinking can be 
applied to real problems. The webinar will include 30 minutes of presentation 
and 25 minutes for discussion. Participants are encouraged to both ask 
questions of the presenters and discuss their own experiences of teaching about 
soils in the context of Earth systems.
