> The E-mail based Soil Erosion Discussion List at the University of Trier,
> Germany
>
>
> Introduction
>
> As a participant in some of the e-mail (electronic mail) based discussion lists
> which deal with Geographic Information Systems (e.g. GIS-L, IDRISI--L, etc) the
> author supposed that there must be an equivalent for themes related to soil
> erosion. However, after putting out an Internet 'request for information', none
> of the worldwide 'netlanders' could give any hints as to where to find such a
> discussion list.
>
> So it seemed a good idea to establish such a list. The University of Trier is
> well placed to act as host in two respects: firstly, a geo-information service
> using e-mail and FTP (File Transfer Protocol) has already been set up;
> secondly, the head of the Department of Physical Geography, Prof. Dr. G.
> Richter, is one of the founder members of the ESSC (European Society for Soil
> Conservation). Subsequent discussion with other erosion workers at the
> University of Oxford, UK, indicated enthusiastic support for such a list.
>
>
> The Intention of the Discussion List
>
> The list should be a forum for all geographers, geomorphologists or soil
> scientists interested in soil erosion or soil conservation. This might include
> field workers, laboratory workers, or modellers. In some cases discussion
> might be more practically-based, for example concentrating on the relative
> efficiency of different conservation systems, or the practicalities of various
> rainfall simulators. Other themes might be centred on the use of GIS with
> erosion models, on geostatistics, or on modelling erosion under changed
> climates. The list could even be used to advertise vacant posts! In the
> somewhat nucleated world of erosion researchers, such a discussion list could
> be a great aid in stimulating the interchange of knowledge concerning soil
> erosion. Let us build a worldwide list for a worldwide problem!
>
>
> How to get on the list
>
> To become a participant in the soil erosion discussion list, you must have
> access to e-mail. To join, send your address (including your e-mail address!)
> to the author via e-mail, fax or post (for details see below). You will then be
> placed on the distribution list, and the author will send confirmation of your
> registration by e-mail.
>
> After receiving this confirmation, each member of the discussion list will
> automatically receive all information sent to the list. Thus, after browsing
> this material at your leisure, you can choose to participate in discussion
> which concerns a theme you are interested in, and to ignore themes which are of
> no interest. Similarly, you can choose whether or not to ask questions that
> affect your business, or to help other participants by answering their
> questions. Note however, that only by reading some discussions without taking
> part will you learn about things which are new to you. Note also that a
> personal correspondance with people you have met by means of the
> discussion list is only possible by by-passing the list; all other
> communication is automatically sent to all list members.
>
>
> Acknowledgements
>
> The project 'Soil Erosion Discussion List' would not be possible without
> the help of the University Computer Centre in Trier.

> Thanks to Dave Favis-Mortlock, Oxford (UK) for the help setting up this text.

Topic: Wind Erosion Discussion List Started
Ted Zobeck of the USDA, ARS has started a new discussion group on wind
erosion.
This discussion list will be similar to Soils-L in that it initially will
be unmoderated. I hope we can encourage discussion of any aspect of wind
erosion science, including but not limited to modeling, climatic influences,
soils, agricultural and non-agricultural aspects of wind erosion, physics,
economics, environmental impacts, etc.
To subscribe send the following message to listproc@unicorn.acs.ttu.edu:
subscribe wind_erosion (your name)
Your will receive a confirmation of your subscription and will be issued a
password. Please reset your password as instructed in the return message.
NOTE: The underline between the words 'wind' and 'erosion' must be present.
You will be automatically be added to
the list from the address from which your message is sent.
Correspondence to the list will may be sent to:
wind_erosion@unicorn.acs.ttu.edu.
Further information may be sent to list manager Ted M. Zobeck at
tzobeck@lubbock.ars.ag.gov.

In reply to Frank Colozza's question about getting cores and installing
wells in a floating sphagnum bog: (hoping the question is still
current)
Installing multilevel wells could be easy using a technique like that in
Stites, W. and Lucy C. Chambers. 1991. A method for installing miniature
multilevel sampling wells. Ground Water 29:430-432.
To summarize, this involves driving a temporary casing of plumbing pipe
into the substrate, inserting small flexible plastic tubing with
screened ends, and withdrawing the pipe. An expendable cover on the pipe
end keeps out the soil during driving.
This doesn't get you a core. Possibly you could use vibra-coring, where you
vibrate a 76-mm aluminum irrigation pipe down into the ground with an
apparatus based on a concrete vibrator. The pipes are available at least
up to 30 ft long. I've used it in dry sand and it worked fairly decently,
but below the water table we had trouble keeping the sample in while we
pulled up the pipe.
If this is of interest, feel free to contact me directly.

All,
I am intrested in digital version of soil survey of Minnesota counties. I
pulled the following list off Soil Science GOPHER at the University of
Minnesota. The list was compiled in 1992, and I'm woundering if the satus
of the digital survey status has changed, if their is an update list some
where else, or anyother information Minnesota county soil surveys??
