By June 15 gasoline-powered augers will have drilled 100 holes in the corn, cotton and peanut fields of the Lower Flint River Basin in southwest Georgia. Into the holes, scientists from the University of Georgia (U.G.A.) will slip half-meter-long PVC pipes filled with sensors for soil moisture and temperature topped with a flexible antenna that can be run over by a tractor and spring back into place. Over the course of the next two years, these sensors will continuously relay soil conditions from 20, 40 and 60 centimeters deep to a computer. Combined with more accurate weather forecasts , the data will help farmers decide where and when to use their irrigation systems.

Natural Sciences Library summer hours are:
Monday - Friday: 8:30am - 4:30pm
Have a safe and happy summer everyone!
Come by and check out our new paleontology display in Natural Sciences Library!
The display is divided into two parts:
1. The Barrnade monographs - this is a collection of rare 19th century books purchased jointly by the Library and the Department of Geological Sciences in 2009. The volumes provide descriptions and beautiful illustrations of invertebrate fossils. This is the first time a selection of these valuable volumes has been displayed since their acquisition!
2. A celebration of the new textbook by Luis Buatois and Gabriela Mangano of the Department of Geological Sciences: Ichnology : organism-substrate interactions in space and time.
Check out our new guide that walks you through all the steps for using Endnote X5 - a great citation management program that lets you manage all your references for assignments and papers, and creates instant bibliographies in the citation style (APA, Vancouver, MLA, etc) of your choice. See here for the Endnote handout.
