Today we celebrated Dr Driese’s work and contributions to the field of paleopedology. Lots of great talks about paleoclimate, geochemistry, weathering, and of course, lots of vertisols!

Lots of awesome soil research today by some awesome students in our Emerging Voices in Soil and Paleosol Science session today!

Yesterday, we were pleased to have the 2022 Farouk El-Baz award winner Ronald Amundson speak about his work on desert (and Martian!) soils and why deserts are so special. Congrats! #GSA2022

Come visit the @geosociety #Geoarchaeology Division booth at #GSA2022! We're at Booth 2922 with our good friends at @GSASoils . You can pick up a Geoarch fleece hat, bandana, or vinyl sticker for suggested donations that will go toward our student award funds!
