Please mark your calendar to attend the 57th Annual Meeting of the Soil Science Society of North Carolina on January 21st and 22nd, 2014 at the McKimmon Center on the campus of North Carolina State University in Raleigh.  

I encourage you to volunteer an oral presentation or poster paper to share with the Society members at the upcoming meeting.  Any topic involving soil science is welcomed.  However, oral presentations that fit one of the following subject areas will be given priority at this year’s meeting.

  1. Fracking in North Carolina; Current and Future Implications
  2. On-site Wastewater and Reuse Issues
  3. Organic Nutrient Applications for Conventional and Organic Agriculture
  4. Pedogenic Processes of Streams and Restoration
  5. Stormwater, Wetland and Mitigation Issues

The official CALL FOR PAPERS and POSTERS form is attached.  If you are interested in presenting an oral or poster paper, please return the completed form with a copy of your abstract to Deanna Osmond by email at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it by June, 1st, 2013. You may also send your information and the abstract by mail to the address given below.  You will be notified by a reply email regarding the receipt of the abstract and acceptance as either an oral or poster presentation; instructions for presenting oral and poster papers will follow.  For oral papers, the Soil Science Society of NC would like your permission to mount the presentation as a pdf on our website, but there may be circumstances precluding this.  We no longer require papers but if you want to provide one you may. Remember that North Carolina Licensed Soil Scientist continuing educational credit hours are available for those who present papers. 

Please share this information with your colleagues and co-workers who may be interested in becoming a member of the Soil Science Society of NC and/or attending the meeting in January to learn about important topics related to soils.  The pre-registration materials will be sent to you in early November.  Information about the upcoming meeting and the Society can be found at our Web site, http://www.sssnc.org.
