A soil scientist is a person who is qualified to evaluate and interpret soils and soil-related data for the purpose of understanding soil resources as they contribute to not only agricultural production, but as they affect environmental quality and as they are managed for protection of human health and the environment. The university degree should be in Soil Science, or closely related field (i.e., natural resources, environmental science, earth science, etc.) and include sufficient soils-related course work so the Soil Scientist has a measurable level of understanding of the soil environment, including soil morphology and soil forming factors, soil chemistry, soil physics, and soil biology, and the dynamic interaction of these areas.
Soil survey or soil mapping, is the process of classifying soil types and other soil properties in a given area and geo-encoding such information. It applies the principles of soil science, and draws heavily from geomorphology, theories of soil formation, physical geography, and analysis of vegetation and land use patterns. Primary data for the soil survey are acquired by field sampling and by remote sensing.
In the past, a soil scientist would take hard-copies of aerial photography, topo-sheets, and mapping keys into the field with them. Today, a growing number of soil scientists bring a ruggedized tablet computer and GPS into the field with them.
The term soil survey may also be used as a noun to describe the published results. In the United States, these surveys were once published in book form for individual counties by the National Cooperative Soil Survey.
Today, soil surveys are no longer published in book form; they are published to the web and accessed on NRCS Web Soil Survey where a person can create a custom soil survey. This allows for rapid flow of the latest soil information to the user. In the past it could take years to publish a paper soil survey. The information in a soil survey can be used by farmers and ranchers to help determine whether a particular soil type is suited for crops or livestock and what type of soil management might be required.
An architect or engineer might use the engineering properties of a soil to determine whether it is suitable for a certain type of construction. A homeowner may even use the information for maintaining or constructing their garden, yard, or home.

The assignment was to take some text and re-interpret it as a map. The text in this case was the salad section of the Joy of Cooking. Watercolor original with digital additions, 17"x17".

Due to the vast experience of the participants in teaching, technology, course design and content creation, there is already a lot to build upon.
Proteger la vida silvestre, ese fue el mensaje que dejó la proyección del video mapping denominado UKCOL Por La Vida Silvestre, una colaboración creativa exclusiva entre el reconocido fotógrafo de animales Tim Flach y el músico del grupo colombiano Bomba Estéreo, Simón Mejía, que explora la belleza y la majestuosa biodiversidad de Latinoamérica y hace un fuerte llamado a su protección.
Anoche, como parte de los eventos de la agenda de la II Conferencia de Alto Nivel de las Américas sobre el Comercio Ilegal de Vida Silvestre, que se desarrolla en La Heroica, se presentó este producto audiovisual que fue apreciado por cientos de turistas que transitan por la Torre del Reloj.
El ministro de Ambiente y Desarrollo Sostenible, Carlos Eduardo Correa, destacó el trabajo del fotógrafo británico que logró plasmar en imágenes la riqueza natural de los países latinoamericanos. “Lo que vimos en la Torre del Reloj es la muestra de la grandeza de nuestra región. Nuestro país alberga el 10 % de toda la biodiversidad global y esa es una riqueza que debemos entender más allá del discurso”, dijo.
Guacamayas, tucanes, pelícanos, jaguares, caimanes, monos, sapos y especies marinas, entre otros, fueron las especies que llenaron de colores y vida la Torre del Reloj. El video mapping tuvo una duración de 40 minutos y fue musicalizado en vivo, por lo que ofreció una experiencia única, sensorial y envolvente.
“El enfoque de mi trabajo no es el de un fotógrafo de vida silvestre tradicional, sino que busco recrear el carácter, la personalidad de estos animales para que parezcan casi unos retratos humanos, para que podamos pensar en ellos de otra forma y lo que eso puede decirnos de nosotros mismos. Ustedes tienen una biodiversidad extraordinaria, como estos delfines de agua dulce, tienen el tití cabeza blanca, en las costas tienen aglomeraciones de tiburones martillo que se reúnen para aparearse. Todos estos son animales únicos, ¿cómo no inspirarse con toda esta biodiversidad?”, resaltó Tim Flach.
Esta producción se hizo realidad gracias al apoyo del Festival Internacional de Cine Ambiental colombiano Planet On, a través de su iniciativa Music On, liderada por Simón Mejía y diseñada visualmente por Santiago Caicedo, junto con la campaña Great del Gobierno del Reino Unido, lo que refleja la alianza entre los dos países y su compromiso por la protección del medio ambiente. / Abr. 05, 2022.

The installation "Mapping the city" is a structural chain of a number of furniture objects and scale-models, lined up as a long straight street. The furniture objects are placed side by side like a row of houses to form one city grit.By this arrangement the furniture as object is no longer experienced as autonomous identities, but as a part of one sculptural installation.

Alexander Tindale. PhD student Alexander Tindale has used Census data to take a look at how far multiculturalism really goes – that is, how much are ‘typical Australians’ marrying or otherwise living with people from different backgrounds. The analysis shows that ideas of ethnic residential segregation don’t hold true once we look inside households and that we’re quite an eclectic bunch.
