Laterite (Pedology 🟤)

Laterite is a soil type rich in iron and aluminum that often forms in hot, wet areas; most such soil is found in the tropics. Nearly all laterites are of rusty-red coloration due to high iron oxide content. Laterite soils develop by intensive and prolonged weathering of the underlying parent rock, usually under conditions of high temperatures and heavy rainfall...

Hwangto (Pedology 🟤)

Hwangto, a Korean loess soil, is a yellow-coloured soil, which contains high levels of potassium chloride and calcium. Hwangto is sometimes called a 'living soil' for its medical effects. Korean loess called “Hwangto”or “the red yellow soil or earth” has been a basic element or nourishment which has cultivated Korean nature and cultural heritages. Hwangto reve...

Grit (supplement) (Pedology 🟤)

Grit is a material eaten by birds to aid in their diets and digestion. Wild birds find grit naturally while foraging, and farmers can purchase grit for their domestic fowl. There are two forms: soluble grit, which dissolves in a bird's digestive system and is often made of calcium; and insoluble grit, which remains in the gizzard and is usually composed of stone. G...

Pedosphere (Pedology 🟤)

The pedosphere 'ground, earth' and σφαῖρα 'sphere') is the outermost layer of the Earth that is composed of soil and subject to soil formation processes. It exists at the interface of the lithosphere, atmosphere, hydrosphere and biosphere. The pedosphere is the skin of the Earth and only develops when there is a dynamic interaction between the atmosphere, biosphere, lit...

Pedology (Pedology 🟤)

Pedology is a discipline within soil science which focuses on understanding and characterizing soil formation, evolution, and the theoretical frameworks for modeling soil bodies, often in the context of the natural environment. Pedology is often seen as one of two main branches of soil inquiry, the other being edaphology which is traditionally more agronomically oriented and focuses on ho...

Soil carbon feedback (Pedology 🟤)

The soil carbon feedback concerns the releases of carbon from soils in response to global warming. This response under climate change is a positive climate feedback. There is approximately two to three times more carbon in global soils than the Earth's atmosphere, which makes understanding this feedback crucial to understand fut...

The #windjammer parade has passed. What now at #KielerWoche? How about a refreshing knowledge shower? At the international ROOTS #ScienceShow, four young scientists will give short and entertaining talks about their research into the past of human societies. Start: 1 p.m. in the Seeburg at the #Kiellinie

Aggregate (geology) (Petrology 💎)

In the Earth sciences, aggregate has three possible meanings. In mineralogy and petrology, an aggregate is a mass of mineral crystals, mineraloid particles or rock particles. Examples are dolomite, which is an aggregate of crystals of the mineral dolomite, and rock gypsum, an aggregate of crystals of the mineral gypsum. Lapis lazuli is a type o...

Ferricrete (Pedology 🟤)

Ferricrete is a hard, erosion-resistant layer of sedimentary rock, usually conglomerate or breccia, that has been cemented into a duricrust by iron oxides. The iron oxide cements are derived from the oxidation of percolating solutions of iron salts. Ferricretes form at or near the land surface and may contain non-local sediments that have been transported from outside...

Digital soil mapping (Pedology 🟤)

Digital soil mapping in soil science, also referred to as predictive soil mapping or pedometric mapping, is the computer-assisted production of digital maps of soil types and soil properties. Soil mapping, in general, involves the creation and population of spatial soil information by the use of field and laboratory observational methods coupled with spatial and non-spatial s...

Flark (Pedology 🟤)

A flark is a depression or hollow within a bog. Flarks typically occur as a series of parallel depressions, separated by intervening ridges known as strings.Early theories suggested that flarks were formed by frost heaving, but flarks have since been found in areas where frost heaving does not occur. Flarks are now thought to form when the peat that forms the base of the bog beco...

I'm not an #introduction fan but I guess I should.

Hi, I'm Lauren, I do regional soils mapping in New Zealand after having done the same in Australia for many years. #Taranaki is my main beat atm, but I get around.

I try to position myself in the middle of the old-school #pedology/new-school #pedometrics space. Life is more interesting when *all* of my colleagues are angry at me 🙃

I'll mostly be shitposting about map stuff and #rstats here, and posting photos from my fieldwork adventures.
