*Forest, Range, & Wildland Soil Scientists of S7 ---* At this December's AGU meeting, I can recommend a presentation-poster session that will be of interest. Four of us are seeking volunteers for oral presentations and posters, from scientists at all stages of careers, from students to the so-called "retired."  Let me know if you have questions. *Important Info*: 3 Sept is the deadline for Abstract submission.  See the url: http://www.agu.org/meetings/fm09/program/scientific_session_search.php You must be an AGU member ($20 or less) to submit an abstract. *Title of Session*:  Global Soil Change: New Frontiers for the Biogeosciences (Session B12) Sponsor:  AGU- Biogeosciences Section   *Description of Session*:     Some of society's most important scientific questions involve Earth's soil. We have far too little understanding about how humanity is transforming soil right beneath our feet, changing the biogeochemistry and biophysics of the soil system itself and soil's interactions with the global atmosphere and hydrosphere.    Presentations (oral and poster) are sought that creatively address this most critical of Anthropocene phenomena, that of the human forcing of soil change. Presentations are welcome from across all scientific perspectives of Earth's Critical Zone, and across all spatial and temporal scales.    This AGU session is proposed from an ongoing NSF Research Coordination Network that facilitates interaction among the world's long-term soil observatories and experiments (on-line at ltse.env.duke.edu). Cheers and I trust you'll enjoy the rest of your summer!! Dan Richter (with Drs. Sharon Billings, Marc Kramer, & Alain Plante)
