We want to send out a thank you to the nine schools that competed in the 2021 SE Collegiate Soil Contest! It was an honor to host the event this year at the East Tennessee AgResearch and Education Center. For a full list of winners, visit our website: bess.tennessee.edu/va-tech-wins-2…

So glad to have Ilia Gelfand from Ben-Gurion University of the Negev visiting UT Knoxville as part of our ongoing BARD BARD US Israel Binational Agricultural R&D project. Hectic week but we managed a day out with 8 miles of hiking in the colorful Great Smoky mountains 🏔

#AGU21

Looking for soils sessions at AGU? The ISCN has you covered! Consider attending one, or all of the events hosted by the Biogeosciences Section listed at the bottom of the page. iscn.fluxdata.org/soils-at-agu-2…

Women face multiple barriers in Science that bring us down or push us out. The pervasive and toxic culture of sexual harassment like the one I experienced Smithsonian Panama needs to change! buzzfeednews.com/article/nishit…

Calling all judges!

For those asking what they can do to support the victims of harassment at STRI, here are a few specific actions that will help survivors: #MeToo

Stop by the Biogeosciences pre-reception Town Hall tomorrow (Tues) at 6pm CT. Hear section news, and meet old and new friends! Billy Williams, AGU's senior vice president for diversity, ethics and inclusion will be there. agu.confex.com/agu/fm21/meeti… #AGU2021

As PhD admissions start rolling in, I just wanna drop a little encouragement. I got rejected or waitlisted from every program I applied. And of the places I was waitlisted…I ended up getting rejected from all, except one-the institution I’m at now. It only takes one yes.

Help Wanted: We are seeking an eager scientist to join the AGU Fall Meeting Program Committee (FMPC), representing the Biogeosciences Section. As a Biogeosciences FMPC member, you will help schedule Biogeosciences sessions for a three-year term. 1/2

To volunteer, email a short description of your interest and motivation (<125 words) along with a CV to Forrest Hoffman <[email protected]>. 2/2

Exudates from plant roots impact soil biogeochemistry, weathering, & transport of solutes that eventually determine chemical composition in streams. How to model this complexity? See awesome work of Susana Roque-Malo, PhD from CINet dx.doi.org/10.1029/2021JG…

New Research: Variation in Bacterial Community Structure Under Long-Term Fertilization, Tillage, and Cover Cropping in Continuous Cotton Production frontiersin.org/articles/10.33… #microbiology

We have a Research Associate Job (BA/BS/MS) opening Colorado State Rams 🐏 in the Analytical Resources Core. Apply to be part of our #MassSpectacular team! jobs.colostate.edu/postings/103175

We evaluated 6- #MachineLearning algorithms to predict #cotton yield & determine its critical variables from continuous no-till cotton cropping system (32- yrs dataset). We have presented interesting findings, please read Dhaliwal et al. 2022: doi.org/10.1016/j.comp… #SoilHealth

#AGU22 deadline is next week! Do you know where you’ll be submitting your soil processes or critical zone abstracts? docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d…

This Friday (Sept. 30) from 2-3 pm Eastern, we're continuing our virtual "office hours" on crafting nomination packets for AGU Honors & Recognitions. 2019 Hilker Award winner Kim Novick @Novick_Lab will discuss strategies and lead Q&A. Register at agu.zoom.us/meeting/regist…
