Welcome soils students!

My name is Amber Anderson, I’m an associate teaching professor at Iowa State University in the Agronomy Department as well as coach of ISU’s soil judging team. I look forward to sharing my knowledge of soils and interacting with those of you both at Iowa State University and beyond. To those outside of Iowa State-hope you have a great soils learning experience, and feel free to contact me!

I would like to acknowledge the contributions, review, and support of Abbey Elder, Dr. Lee Burras, Dr. Rivka Fidel (University of Arizona), Dr. Cole Dutter, Dr. Bradley Miller, Heidi Ackerman, Dr. Ala Khaleel, Arturo Flores-Godoy, Adam Subora, Francis Akitwine, Becky Wokibula, Hallie Sandeen, Casey Luke, and many others at Iowa State University Department of Agronomy.
