The group presents itself in the sense of evaluating, testing and developing methodologies, through geotechnologies, which help in the knowledge of the soil. It aims to study geotechnologies not only as a tool, but as a science, and its interrelation with soils. In the soil aspect, it interacts in the most different areas such as fertility, chemistry,
mapping, erosion, conservation, mineralogy, physics and biology. The group has a multi / inter-disciplinary aspect, working together with professionals from different areas and institutions. It aims to establish itself at the forefront of the foundations of pedology studied by geotechnologies.
