Soil Science Society of North Carolina Meeting

Hi everyone, this is Audrey. I know, long time no post. Everyone has been busy traveling or working in the lab with no time to blog. We have some exciting posts to share, so I hope you enjoy them! On January 20-21, the Soil Science Society of North Carolina held their yearly meeting which is one of the largest state meetings in the country. Believe it or not, North Carolina is one of the leading states in soil research. I had a poster looking at arsenic and lead levels in porewater and sediments of golf course and sod farm ponds across the Sandhills region of North Carolina.



Allison also had a poster on her current work looking at the effects on soil and crops from the coal ash spill from Duke Energy into the Dan River. This is, of course, a topic of extreme interest, so Allison had her work cut out for her answering all the questions. Overall, Allison won 3rd place for her poster, so congratulations to her!



And finally, Matt gave a talk on the cause and effects of arsenic loading into groundwater in Southeast Asia's and how soils play a role. Unfortunately I didn't get a picture, but he gave a great talk! Liz was the moderator for the Soil and Groundwater Contamination session as well. As you can see, we were an active group in this years meeting!

Ethan Wins 3rd Place at the Graduate Student Research Symposium



We have some very exciting news to announce to everyone. First, Ethan Lineberger placed third in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences section of the Graduate Student Research Symposium at NC State last month. Congratulations, Ethan! He presented the work he has done in the past 4 months from his December trip to Bangladesh.

The next piece of exciting news is that Audrey will be headed back to Cambodia in May to analyze surface and well water. Expect a lot more posts during the trip (May 15-31).

We have one more piece of news, but that's just going to have to wait another week or so. Stay tuned!
