2 days in the field + 10 hours of online lectures and readings.

This course immerses participants fully into Chapter 5 of the COE Regional Supplements, the procedures provided to make wetland determinations on the “Difficult Wetland Situations” for the region. Topics will include interpretations of landforms and hydrology, soil morphological features in disturbed and problematic soils, regionally pertinent Hydric Soil Indicator insights, Normal Circumstances and Normal Climatic conditions, and wetland mapping and reporting techniques. The 2 day field session will include hands-on data collection, discussion of findings, review of techniques and pitfalls, and consideration of regionally specific disturbances.
