Students of Global Soil Geography course are out today for their first field trip digging soil pits. Plenty of soil profile pictures to come! #Soil #Science #NatureOnOurDoorstep

The Scottish soil classification system actually uses a bottle of Irn Bru for both estimating depth and for colour. #Soil #Science

I’m baaack! First day in my new role as Research Fellow at @UoABioSci! Stay tuned for some soil science with a BNI flavour! #Soil #Science #NewJob #PostDoc

A beautiful morning to be out in the field! #Soil #Science

So excited to share that I will be returning to my alma mater as a Research Fellow! Coming back to the soil and my stable isotopes I will be working on the CropSustaiN BNI wheat mission. I can’t wait to get started!

Did I make a sign for my office door with my name written as earthworms in soil?

Yes

Should I have been doing actual work?

Also yes

and behold, a soil puck! With a known quantity of soil with known water content the bulk density can easily be derived. I’m using it to quickly show how compaction varies with water content #soil #science #FirstPost

Then let rip (25 blows)

Behold the Proctor musket! First, load your powder (soil) then your shot (a large bung)…

Hello BlueSky! We are also starting a migration from The Other Place. We will posts announcements of selected papers we publish as well as regular "Editors' Picks" we find especially important to highlight. Looking forward to interacting with the soil science community here! Cheers, the Editors!
