DESCRIPTION:Our favorite science fiction stories not only come with iconic 
 protagonists\, but with vivid imagery of the landscapes they are exploring
 . What is at the foundation of these imagined worlds and landscapes? Soil.
  The beautiful ecosystems in Sci-Fi stories would not be possible without 
 using soil as a seemingly small but necessary tool for building the worlds
  of science fiction. In this talk\, we will walk through the fundamentals 
 of soil (including soil types\, biota and the life of a soil) by looking a
 t stories from Star Wars\, Dune and Children of Time. We will see that our
  Earthly soil is not so different from imagined planets’ soils\, like Ta
 tooine\, and\, most importantly\, that soil is so much more than what we o
 ften might think of as just “dirt.”
