1. Introduction and Question
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Date: Thu, 22 May 1997 09:56:22 -0400
From: Helene A Hilger (hhilger@UNCC.EDU)
Subject: Introduction and Question
My name is Helene Hilger, and I am a doctoral student working on a Ph.D. in
Civil Engineering through North Carolina State University. I am working under
Dr. Morton Barlaz at NC State. Dr. Art Wollum, a soil microbiologist at NC
State, is on my committee. I live and work in Charlotte, North Carolina at
UNC-Charlotte. So I am somewhat isolated from other graduate students, and I
have to ask most of my questions through e-mail to my committee. My research
concerns methanotrophs in landfill soil, so I am frequently bumping up against
soil science issues and techniques. There is no soil science group at my
campus, and consequently, our library doesn't have many resources in the area
either. I thought I would try this mailing list as a supplement to the
resources I have available.
Here's a question:
I'm trying to alter the headspace gas concentrations over some soil samples in
gas-tight vials. I need to evacuate the headspace and replace it with various
concentrations of methane, oxygen and nitrogen. I can't get a good evacuation.
I've been using a syringe needle attached to a vacuum pump to evacuate, then a
syringe needle attached to a helium tank to sparge the headspace after
evacuation. I vent it to release pressure and repeat. I have repeated this a
number of times, but can't get below 5% nitrogen. Is that the best I'm going to
be able to do? Are there details to these evacuation techniques I need to know
to get good removal of the gases?
I'd appreciate any advice offered.

Hello everyone,
I wonder if there's anyone in this list who has ever used fractals to
quantify/measure aggregate stability. I would like to hear your experience
in particular how it measures up with the usual aggregate stability indices
like mean weight diameter (mwd) or geometric mean diameter (gmd), or with
other methods to measure aggregate stability.
Thanks.

I haven't seen any use of fractals, but you may find the following article
very interesting:

Bonded Assemblies of Circular Particles," Proc. North Amer. Rock Mech.
Symp. (NARMS), 1937-1994.
They used a program called Particle Flow Code (PFC) to very closely
estimate the strength of Lac du Bonnet granite using values for shear and
normal stiffness and bond strengths of individual particle-particle

Sorry for cross posting.
Dear members:
I am trying to find models that will allow multi-year evaluation of salt
leaching under irrigated agriculture. We are trying to locate models
whose output allows quantification of vertical salt transport and
loading to groundwater given a soil salinity profile, irrigation
frequency and water depth, and relevant crop water use parameters. I
have used CHEMFLO and VS2DT before and am familiar with SWMS_2D which is
relatively similar to VS2DT. Both VS2DT and SWMS_2D include plant water
uptake. Has anyone used these models to simulate multi-year salt
transport to groundwater under irrigation? Do you suggest other models?
Thanks.

There is an old procedure with Na2CO3.
The procedure is as follows:
to disperse about 40 g of a soil you need to add 1,5 g of Na2CO3 and
about 0.7 L of distilled water.
Boiling for 30 minutes is necessary for successful dispersion.

Hi Tom,
I think the following articles should be useful:
Whelan, B. R., and Barrow, N. J. (1980). A study of a method for
displacing soil solution by centrifuging with an immiscible
liquid. Journal of Environmental Quality 9, 315-9.
Soon, Y. K., and Warren, C. J. (1993). Soil Solution. In 'Soil
Sampling and Methods of Analysis.' (Ed. M. R. Carter.) pp.
147-59. (Lewis Publishers: Boca Raton.)
Basically, high cost of immiscible liquids, as you
mentioned, is one of the disadvantages of this method.

Dear Said:
I have a published model which could be used for the problem you
describe. It is called Opus, and in simulates the soil rootzone
profile and crop growth, water use, runoff, and chemical transport.
To simulate salt loading to groundwater, you will be in the long term
simply subtracting the plant ET and soil Evap from whatever
concentration of salt is in the irrigation water. Opus does not
explicitly include the specification of a chemical composition of
irrigated water, but you could input the right amount of chemical at
the same time as the specified irrigations, and the model would do
the rest. You can use a randomly generated weather pattern (included
in the model) if you are applying the model in the continental US, or
the model will run on measured data, or on smoothed records of mean
monthly values of temperature and radiation. For your application
you should have pretty good values for the soil hydraulic properties.
Opus runs under DOS, and the user manual and
documentation manual are available from me if you are interested.

One of my former collegues at Oklahoma State Univ.
used LEACHM to simulate salt leaching and revap
under shallow water table conditions. I am not
sure if he published his work somewhere, but he
returned to Pakistan after finishing his PhD. He
mentione that LEACHM did a pretty good job with
multilayered salt leaching under irrigated conditions.
But LEACHM is a 1-D model.
My friend's name is Riasat Ali. His adviser
was Dr. Elliott (relliot@neusun.agen.okstate.edu).
Hope this is of some help to you.

I am not familiar with the models you are considering. However one
important consideration, in my opinion, is whether they allow using
good crop models for the crop you are interested in. The 2DSOIL and
RZWQM models are designed to have various crop models attached to
them. I am most familiar with 2DSOIL in this respect.

Dear Said:
Opus has been tested by several others in the movement of both
pesticides and the movement and cycling of nutrients. It has not
been "tested" specifically as a salt transport model, but the
transport is the same as for a non-degrading, non-absorbed chemical
(pesticide).
The documentation is available free while supplies last, to those
who have an appropriate application for the model.

Two years ago, I used the SWMS_2D to simulate multi-layer acid mine
leaching to groundwater. I know the CHEMFLO model but I'd not really
used it. I think the SWMS_2D model is convenient for the work you to do.

dear Said,
I am carrying out researches on hydro-geochemical processes (water flow,
solute transport, geochemical processes) and I use models.
You can contact the USDA (www.ussl.ars.usda.gov): they have develloped
several models that can be of interest for you. For example UNSATCHEM
(Simunek and Suarez, 1993).
Dutch people have developped a water flow and solute transport code:
SWAP.
Contact the WAGENINGEN University.
I hope that it can help you

The models (leachm or vs2dt or any other model) do not diffirenciate
between rainfall and irrigation because both of them are water input
into the simulated system. Thus, leachm and Vs2dt(I worked with it too
and I modified it during my Ph.D. work to handel surface water body
adjacent to a soil surface) can handel both water input from rain and
irrigation you just have to input it into the input file correctly.

From: Michael Fraser (lfraser@IBM.NET)
Subject: New WinLoG Borehole Log Plotting Software
WinLog for Windows is a new program for the quick, economical production
of borehole logs, that has just been released by the GAEA Software
Group. This program greatly simplifies the process of creating
environmental and geotechnical borehole logs for reports. Designed
exclusively for the Windows environment, WinLog has a user-friendly
interface that can be used to create and print a set of borehole logs in
minutes. Features include a fully graphical interface, point & click
editing of logs, quick duplication of borehole logs, multiple font
support, adjustable depth axis, and multiple pages per log. Several
types of columns are supported, such as soil description and symbol
columns, elevation column, monitoring well column, sample columns,
graphical columns, and text columns. The program comes with several
standard borehole templates, and has the ability to quickly create fully
customized templates. Each template contains a header, multiple data
columns, and a footer. Company logos can be included in any template
via a bitmap. WinLog is fully compatible with all Windows operating
systems and networks.
Borehole logs can be easily created, edited, and stored in individual
files. Each borehole log can contain header and footer information,
soil descriptions and symbols for soil layers, sample data,
monitoring well data, and numerous customized graphs and text
columns. Once entered borehole logs can be quickly copied using the
toolbar button, copies can then be edited and saved to represent other
boreholes on the site. Formatting for each borehole is controlled
by the template for the log, which can be easily changed.
Templates are used to specify the formatting of the borehole log. Each
template consists of a header, footer and several columns. Several
templates are included with the program. These templates can be easily
customized to display the different header and footer titles, number
and type of columns, fonts, and colors. In addition, the location and
size of the template can be easily changed using the mouse. Page setup
can be adjusted for orientation and paper size for each template.

GRADUATE RESEARCH ASSISTANT
Biogeochemistry/Forest Soils (Ph.D.)
University of Maine
A graduate research assistantship is available as part of a long-term
whole-watershed manipulation experiment at the Bear Brook Watershed in Maine
(BBWM). The project involves the chemical manipulation of forested stream
catchments to study the biogeochemical response in the treated watershed,
and studies of remote high elevation forested late watersheds. Research
will evaluate potential forest floor and mineral soil chemistry responses to
treatments, with emphasis on nitrogen and carbon sequestration, as well as
base cation depletion and the relationship between watershed characteristics
and surface water geochemistry. Research will involve both laboratory and
field work, with strenuous field work in remote locations included.
Candidates should have an M.S. in soil science, geochemistry, forest
ecology, or closely related field with a strong chemistry background.
Significant field and laboratory responsibilities will be included in this
position. Experience with modern instrumental analysis, computers,
laboratory and field safety and quality assurance criteria are highly
desirable. Annual assistantship stipend is $14,500 plus tuition. Available
after September 1, 1997. DO NOT reply to listserver. Visit the University
of Maine web site at http://kramer.ume.maine.edu/ that includes departmental
and other information such as activities in the Water Research Institute.

Excuse crossposting:
I'm collecting valuable computer programs for waste management and
related topics (remediation etc.) to compile a list.
Does anyone know:
1) Compiled lists on the net or on paper
2) Info about valuable software

Wolfgang,
The January issue of Pollution Engineering magazine has a software
guide with all kinds of software in it. They are not reviewed, it is just a
listing of environmental software. This might be a good place for you to
start. If you e-mail me your address, I will send you a copy.
Anyone else who wants a copy, do the same.

Subscribers,
PLEASE make your requests for this material directly with Cathryn. Cathryn -
next time you and others making such generous offers need to include this
address so that this is possible.
I don't want to see everybody's requests in my mail box, and I don't think
I'm alone in this thought.
