Dear Terrance,
I also would be very grateful for a copy of the documentation.
Given the number of request, may be could be useful to place this
information on a web page.
Yours sincerely

Conference Objective: The objective of the jointly-sponsored conference
is to explore current multidisciplinary methodologies for assessing the
impact of non-point source pollutants upon soil and groundwater
resources. Topics covered by the conference will include, but are not
limited to, spatial analysis, geostatistics, remote sensing and
non-invasive techniques for solute transport parameter measurement,
solute transport parameter estimation techniques (e.g., pedo-transfer
functions), soil databases, spatial and temporal variability, scaling,
uncertainty and sensitivity analysis, fuzzy set theory and fractal
approaches, risk assessment, GIS and solute transport modeling as
related to the assessment of the impact of nonpoint source pollutants
upon soil and groundwater resources from a local to a global scale.

From: "M. Ajmal Khan" (KHAN@ITSNET.COM)
Subject: Introduction of a new member
Hi:
I am a new member of your club and I would like to introduce myself:
- Who you are
Dr. M. Ajmal Khan
Adjunct Professor
Department of Botany and Range Sciences
Brigham Young University
Provo, Utah 84602, USA

- What part of the world you are from
I am from Karachi, Pakistan. I did my MS from Karachi and Ph.D. from
Athens, Ohio, USA. I am a Professor of Ecology at University of Karachi.
Currently visiting BYU as an adjunct Professor and looking for a suitable
position.
- Why you are interested in salinity-l
Physiological ecology of halophytes are my major interest. I am trying to
understand dormancy mechanisms as well growth and osmoregulation of
halophytes in saline conditions. A large portion of the world's
agricultural area is saline and rapidly becoming saline. I am trying to
understand ecology and physiology of halophytes to be able to use them as
crop.
- What your experience with salinity problems are
Most of my experience is working in a hot dry arid environment with less
then 220 mm of rainfall with large saline patches with plenty of shrybby
halophytes. I am just wondring that if they can be used for reclame
degraded saline ecosytems.
- Your specific questions or topics that you would like to see discussed
Physiological ecology of halophytes and mangroves
Use of halophytes as agricultre crop or a tool of bioremediation of saline
soil.
- Your knowledge on salinization / sodification
I have published 50 research papers and edited a book and would be pleased
to share my expertise with anyone so desire.
Ajmal

Subject: Re: BioGroup: air bioremediation
Question:
I am responsible for the clean-up and remediaiton of a pipeline
break leaking raw crude and produced water onto a cultivated field and
into a nearby slough.
From my experience the oil can be aerated in the topsoil and
over a relatively (1yr.) short period of time breakdown. But I am more
concerned with the very high salt (NaCl) content of the produced water
that has saturated the soil.
One method proposed to me has been to treat the contaminated
area with CaNO3. Thereby decreasing the SAR (sodium absorbtion rate)
and bringing the soil back into productivity.
Any suggestions regarding either the oil or salt problem would
be appreciated.

Subject: Notice of Conference in Australia in March 1998
Dear colleagues,
I wish to draw to your attention a conference 'Productive Use and
Rehabilitation of Saline Land' that will be held in Tamworth, NSW, Australia
from 10-12 March 1998.
This conference is the fifth in a series of biennial conferences organised
under the umbrella of the National Committee for the Productive Use and
Rehabilitation of Saline Land (PURSL). The conference is aimed at bringing
together land managers, administrators and researchers in this field.
There will be two days of talks with 4 sessions comprising:
1. Extent, future trends and R&D
2. Managing salinity at different scales
3. Constraints (practical, technical and economic)
4. The way forward
Oral presentations will be restricted to 4-6 per session. Therefore posters
and displays are actively encouraged.
If you are interested in more information about this conference please let
me know as soon as you can. In particular, please let me know whether you
may wish to present a poster, display or talk. If you are, then could you
provide a tentative title for this.
Please also inform your colleagues who may not be on this mailing list.
A detailed brochure outlining the draft program and further details (costs)
will be available after 30 August.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
