Join us for weekly group meeting at 10:00 AM on Thursday in 3402 Williams Hall. All are welcome.

We're organizing a session with Alan Stone at 2008 Joint Annual Meeting of the Geological Society of America and Soil Science Society of America, October 5-9, Houston, Texas
"Roles of Speciation and Molecular Structure in Soil Processes" Symposium (GSA Topical Section 124)
Invited speakers: Per Persson, Umea University, and Laurent Charlet, University of Grenoble.
