Hi,
I just had a student at the NSAC contact me regarding references
on soil freeing and frost action related to soil moisture. I have
little knowledge in this area and no references so I thought I'd ask
the friendly folks at soils-l. Can any of you supply me with a list
or a single reference that will help this student?
thanks very much,

I know a fellow here who did his thesis on this topic. The details are below.
Author: Spaans, Egbert Jakob Anton.
Title: The soil freezing characteristic : its measurement and
similarity to the soil moisture characteristic
Published: 1994.
Description: viii, 114 leaves : ill. ; 29 cm.
Notes: Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of Minnesota, 1994.
Includes bibliographical references.
I suspect this thesis will have very good references in the literature
review section.

Dear Soils-L Subscreibers:
At the Department of Wood, Cellulose and Paper of the University of
Guadalajara (Mexico) where I work, we are trying to make a good quality
hydromulch using fibers locally available such as: wood, waste paper,
coconut, sugar cane and tequila plants derived from industrial
processes. I'd appreciate a lot any reference you can give me because
we have no experience yet on this matter. Thank you in advance for your
help.

Subject: Consulting
Since completing my doctoral program at UC Davis in 1994, I have been working
as an independent research-design consultant. I assist clients with
monitoring designs, experimental designs, sampling techniques, statistical
analyses, and data quality control. My work varies from short telephone and
e-mail consultations (1/2-2 hrs) to long-term projects on retainer, and my
clients include regional, State, and Federal agencies, private non-profits,
private consulting firms, and universities.
I am writing to find out if anyone knows of any current or upcoming projects
that could possibly use my expertise. Any leads would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,

With all due respect to Dr. Holmes, is Soils-L the appropriate venue by which to advertise professional consulting services?
There are a number of other Internet venues that would welcome this type of expertise, particularly where small business or
minority businesses are highlighted.

Some time ago, I posted to the group and corresponded with several people
about hydrophobic soils and water repellency in soils. During my move to
Edmonton, I have lost my file of emails and addresses.
So, to start fresh - Is anyone out there working on hydrophobic soils?
Thanks in advance.
