Paleorthid

I serve as webmaster for nscss.org and found wikipedia through slashdot. I am a soil science consultant located in Washington. I have a Bachelor of Science degree in Soil and Water Science from the University of California, Davis. I will be attending my Soils 105 30-year reunion in 2005. Soils 105 was a 6 week summer field course in pedology (soil study) conducted jointly with University of California, Berkeley, and, when I took it, taught by Rod Arkley, Gene Begg and Gordon Huntington. One feature of the course that year was a tour of the Mendocino County pygmy forest conducted by Hans Jenny (1899 - 1992) who was 77 years old at the time, but bright eyed and physically capable of out walking us as he took us up the hill to each successfully older marine terrace. Each terrace had beach deposits about 100,000 years older than the one below it. Parent material, climate, soil life and topography were the same for all five terraces. A perfect lab to isolate the effect of time as a soil forming factor. My user name reflects the fact that I spent a good many years mapping soils in the deserts and xeric shrublands of the western US in support of mine reclamation, irrigation development and treaty water rights. According to a past revision of USA soil taxonomy, Paleorthids are desert soil types that have been around long enough to have developed character. In the current soil taxonomy, paleorthid is meaningless, so to stay current, I should probably change my user name to Petrocalcid. In 1985, my career turned from soil survey to being an agricultural consultant dispensing fertilizer recommendations and irrigation advice. That turned into yet another career change to working with food processors to land apply industrial wastewater, using crop and soil functions to protect water quality. I also delineate and help restore wetlands, conduct audits of the functions and values in riparian areas, conduct Phase I (ASTM) environmental property audits for contamination, prescribe loading rates for municipal biosolids, conduct "post-mortems" on failed septic systems and volunteer in support of soil and water conservation activities with my local conservation district. ==Wiki User Home Pages== [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Paleorthid Wikimedia Meta User]

User:Anthere 04:11, 31 Oct 2004 (UTC) ---- When your soils contributions on Wiktionary was brought to my attention I noticed that you are in Washington. In case you didn't know about it please look at Wikipedia:Meetup/Seattle. Maybe we'll see you there this Saturday. User:Eclecticology 18:38, 2004 Nov 1 (UTC) ==The Humungous Image Tagging Project== Hi. You've helped with the Wikipedia:WikiProject Wiki Syntax, so I thought it worth alerting you to the latest and greatest of Wikipedia fixing project, User:Yann/Untagged Images, which is seeking to put copyright tags on all of the untagged images. There are probably, oh, thirty thousand or so to do (he said, reaching into the air for a large figure). But hey: they're images ... you'll get to see lots of random pretty pictures. That must be better than looking for ''at at'' and ''the the'', non? You know you'll love it. best wishes --User:Tagishsimon User_talk:Tagishsimon == Article Licensing == Hi, I've User:rambot#Free the Rambot Articles project to get users to Wikipedia:Multi-licensing all of their contributions that they've made to either (1) all U.S. state, county, and city articles or (2) all articles, using the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike (''CC-by-sa'') v1.0 and v2.0 Creative Commons Licenses or into the public domain if they prefer. The ''CC-by-sa'' license is a true free documentation license that is similar to Wikipedia's license, the GFDL, but it allows other projects, such as WikiTravel, to use our articles. Since you are among the Wikipedia:List_of_Wikipedians_by_number_of_edits Wikipedians by edits, I was wondering if you would be willing to multi-license all of your contributions or at ''minimum'' those on the geographic articles. Over 90% of people asked have agreed. For More Information: *User talk:Ram-Man#Multi-Licensing FAQ - Lots of questions answered *Wikipedia:Multi-licensing *User:rambot#Free the Rambot Articles project To allow us to track those users who muli-license their contributions, many users copy and paste the "" template into their user page, but there are other options at Wikipedia:Template messages/User namespace#Licensing Templates. The following examples could also copied and pasted into your user page: :Option 1 :I agree to Wikipedia:Multi-licensing all my contributions, with the exception of my user pages, as described below: : OR :Option 2 :I agree to Wikipedia:Multi-licensing all my contributions to any U.S. state, county, or city article as described below: : Or if you wanted to place your work into the public domain, you could replace "" with "". If you only prefer using the GFDL, I would like to know that too. ''Please let me know'' what you think at my User talk:Ram-Man. It's important to know either way so no one keeps asking. -- User:Ram-Man ([http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=User_talk:Ram-Man&action=edit§ion=new comment]| User talk:Ram-Man
