Previous knowledge expected



Objective (expected results of study and acquired competences)

•know / understand fundamentals of soil science,
•know about soil analytical methods for soil characterization relevant for the re-use of soil materials and the protection of soil functions and ecosystem services, including contami-nated soil.
•know about legislation, regulations and norms for protecting and managing soil resources in the context of (green) building engineering.
•assess the environmental impact of conventional and innovative / sustainable on-site and off-site handling and re-use of excavated soil materials by informed interpretation of soil data, relevant guidelines and norms.
•integrate objectives and measures for sustainable soil resource management in the plan-ning process.
