Field Guide for Soil and Stratigraphic Analysis

Field Guide for Soil and Stratigraphic Analysis

Improve your field analysis skills and streamline your sedimentary and soil logging process with these practical tools and techniques:

• Refine soil and sediment descriptions for greater accuracy.
• Create consistent, clear, and meaningful boring logs.
• Classify soil in the field accurately using the USCS (Unified Soil Classification System).
• Analyze sedimentary data as drilling progresses.
• Characterize stratigraphic successions with confidence.
• Build a cohesive geologic framework from boring to boring.
• Minimize editing time with better field data.

Make soil descriptions effortless with the Field Guide's intuitive flow charts. The front side features a comprehensive guide to key descriptive elements, helping to characterize sedimentary sequences and stratigraphic units on boring logs clearly and concisely. It integrates common terminology from geology, engineering, and soil science, making it easier to prepare meaningful logs in the field.

The back side includes a simple step-by-step flow chart for using the USCS, enabling quick assignment of group names and symbols in the field. This valuable resource takes the guesswork out of soil classification, helping you produce consistent and high-quality results every time.
