Fifty-eight years ago the first Meeting on soil micromorphology summarized research into soil components, features and processes at micro-scale. Today, new application fields, beyond the "micropedology" give new impetus to micromorphology: environmental sciences, geoarchaeology, forensics, new materials research, among others. The 15th International Conference on Soil Micromorphology (15ICSM) to be held in Mexico, intends to develop these opportunity fields together with traditional research themes.
