At the end of this UC the student will have acquired knowledge, skills and competences to attain the soil functions criticality in the resilience to environmental problems, namely climate change. The student will understand the early warnings associated with the critical limits of this interface, and should be able to present solutions aimed at sustainable soil management, contributing to land degradation neutrality. The student will also be able to identify and interpret the different forms of soil degradation, in particular contamination, associated with different classes of pollutants and their behavior in a site. The student will develop skills that will allow them to assess a contaminated site, understanding ProSolos, and select the most appropriate remediation technologies for solving environmental engineering problems. Students will also develop skills for transmission and exposure of acquired knowledge.
