Other forms: pedologists
A pedologist is a scientist who studies soil. If you're fascinated with the dirt under our feet, you might want to consider becoming a pedologist!
The words pedologist and pedology stem from a Greek root, pedon, "ground or earth." A pedologist is just one type of soil scientist — while edaphologists are interested in the ways soil supports organisms, a pedologist's focus is on the evolution of the soil over time. If you entered this field, you'd create maps and classifications to explain how various soils formed and where they're found on the planet.
