The Hans Jenny Soil Field Trip Award, encourages student participation in field trips/tours offered at the SSSA Annual Meeting by subsidizing their participation and/or providing travel scholarships. This Field Trip Award was established by Dr. Bill McFee and is named for Hans Jenny, renowned scientist and  professor of soil science, and author of Factors of Soil Formation, a well-known reference book.  Priorities for the award will be for nominees attending field trips/tours related to pedology, geomorphology, forest and range soils, and land use but all Society-sponsored field trips will be considered. Tour descriptions are found here.
