FW: Advanced Soil Ecology SOIL 7270 being taught this Winter Term

From: Mario Tenuta Sent: November-06-12 3:21 PM To: Lynda Closson Subject: Advanced Soil Ecology SOIL 7270 being taught this Winter Term Dear Colleagues. A quick note that Advanced Soil Ecology (SOIL 7270) is being taught the coming Winter Term. Your students may find the course of interest. Please contact me if you or your students require additional information regarding the course. Cheers, Mario (mario.tenuta(a)ad.umanitoba.ca<mailto:mario.tenuta@ad.umanitoba.ca>) Advanced Soil Ecology SOIL 7270 Monday-Wednesdays 8:30-10:00 Brief Description Soil ecology is the study of interactions between soil organisms and their soil environment. The field is of interest to a broad range of scientists, including agronomists, animal scientists, environmental scientists, ecologists, plant pathologists, and soil scientists. The need to understand the relation of the soil environment in the presence and functioning of species and communities of soil organisms unifies studies in soil ecology. A theme throughout this course will thus be the complexity of the soil environment is reflected in the kinds and functions of organisms from the individual to community level of organization. Our goal in this course is to develop a level of comprehension at the graduate level in how soil biological communities respond to soil environmental conditions, plants, and land management. The course is tailored to the interests of the students. The topic areas to be covered will be developed with consultation of students. Thus, this course is not just about gases and nematodes! This course is offered in the winter term if there are more than four students enrolled. The course structure usually is a mix of lectures by the instructor and students. Discussion and analysis of research papers are also done to obtain depth in understanding in key topics. Students have been graded based on their lecture presentation, a major report reviewing the subject area of their presentation, short assignment for each paper discussed in class, and class participation. _______________________________________________________________ Consider Visiting: The Churchill Northern Study Centre for a learning vacation.

-----Original Message----- From: Mary E. Price [mailto:Mary_Price@umanitoba.ca] Sent: October-25-12 11:13 AM To: Bev Godard Subject: URGENT: Plant Science Rep for GSA By-Laws Committee Needed Hi all, In order to secure funding from GSA each year we need to have representation from our grad students on two GSA committees. Chami is currently serving on both which is not fair to her. We need someone to volunteer to serve on the GSA By-Laws Committee. This is not a large commitment as there is only one meeting per month (one hour, on a Wednesday at 4:30 pm). Anyone who already holds a position in PSGSA can also volunteer! Serving on this committee will of course look good on your CV too! If you're interested, please email me, Mary_Price(a)umanitoba.ca as soon as possible! Thanks, Mary
