Realized today that sometime in the past few months the background of my lab’s website was changed to the Statue of Liberty??? Can only imagine what prospective students and collaborators thought 😂🙈😭

To promote justice, equality, and equity for the transgender community, the National Weather Service family champions and stands alongside our transgender employees on this day and every day! #TransDayOfVisibility

Super elated to announce Tiffany Legg, PhD student in the Oklahoma Critical Zone Biogeochemistry Lab, placed in the top three of students in our school for her research and science communication skills!

So happy to see all the pictures of the soil judgers enjoying Oklahoma Soils! Welcome to the wild world of soils on the plains!

@CoastalSoils @EnstUmd @UMD_AGNR Love lake Stanley Draper and the rose rocks! I was actually there Saturday riding my bike… would have been fun running into y’all!

The University of Maryland Soil Judging team is in Oklahoma for the national contest! We explored Stanley Draper Lake on Sunday morning to find the state rock, Barite Rose, only present in a narrow geographic band. @EnstUmd @UMD_AGNR #soiljudging #soilscience

@sgfulton1 @ougeosciences Yes! 1 PhD, 2 MS, 2 UG

Super proud of the Oklahoma Critical Zone Biogeochemistry Lab for showing out and presenting our research at @ougeosciences Research Expo today!

Yes, my dad is also a soil person 🙈

My latest #research article is out in @JBiogeochem . You can read all about my experiences using fixed-potential electrodes to measure metal redox reactions in soils here rdcu.be/c3kyX

Having a great time presenting my work and hearing some fun and exciting science at #goldschmidt2022 in Honolulu!

The “Kessler Krew” ready for a morning of fieldwork! Don’t worry - I ensured we wrapped up before the 104*F temps of the afternoon 🥵

The first monolith I made for my teaching lab is a classic Oklahoma argiustoll! Fingers crossed that it holds up against gravity 🤞😅

It had to be done*†. * loads of scientists are now digging deeper and we're glad to have you down here in the pits † - it's funny b/c it's true

I wrote a blog about soil salinization for our @UofOklahoma environmental studies group. Check it out to learn more about this global threat to our soil and water resources.

Remembering that I have a twitter, account, no longer live in State College PA, and am now an assistant professor - smh. Happy belated World Soil Day!

@MaraCloutier 🤗hugs and love to you. I'm so sorry for your loss.
