Uncovering Collections: What's underground?

Have you ever wondered what soil can actually tell us?

Join the Queensland Chief Scientist and a panel of experts as we introduce you to our State Soils Collection and dig into the mysteries beneath our feet.

The panel will discuss:

- Digitising the State Soils Collection, digital data and mapping initiatives. What does this involve and what does it mean for researchers and the community?

- How the collection is managed and stored. Why do we have an archive?

- Local agriculture and farming trials and what has been found

- Science education and careers

We will also be showcasing some of our soils collection for you to see!
