Lunch and Learn

We’re starting a lunchtime conversation group to share ideas, knowledge, and perspectives on soil and its connections to local climate resilience, public health, human history, and our global future. Campus and local community are welcome!

Grab your lunch and join us the following days in Lower Evans (meeting rooms 1-2):

  • Thursday, September 15, noon-1 p.m. (kickoff week)
  • Thursday, October 27, noon-1 p.m
  • Thursday, November 10, noon-1 p.m

Send your questions or comments to Molly Embree at membree@agnesscott.edu.

A new professional tool

A special tool called a “bulk density soil core sampler” allows collection of samples that are practically undisturbed — meaning that the sampler doesn’t compact the soil sample as it collects it . . . We got our BD sampler and tried it out in the field for the first time today.

Kenn Harris ’23 prepares to use our new bulk density soil core sampler.
