Australian Society of Soil Science Incorporated
|
The Australian Society of Soil Science Incorporated (ASSSI) was founded 1955 to "advance soil science in the professional, academic, and technical fields"[1]. The Society consists of a federation of branches operating the 'umbrella' of the ASSSI Federal Council. Current branches are: New South Wales, Queensland, Riverina, South Australia, Victoria and Western Australia[2]. The Society currently has approximately 800 members[3]. All financial Ordinary members of ASSSI automatically become members of the International Union of Soil Sciences. Every second year, the ASSSI Federal Council organises a national soils conference in conjunction with the branch hosting the conference[4]. The 2010 ASSSI conference will be held in conjunction with the 19th World Congress of Soil Science (WCSS) in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia[5][6].
The ASSSI offers members an opportunity to gain accreditation under the Certified Professional Soil Scientist (CPSS) Scheme[7].
