Podcasts about pedology

The history of soil degradation is not new. Humans have been altering the landscape for thousands of years. But what does it mean to have healthy and functional soils and how is this critical to a productive and sustainable agriculture system? In this bonus episode, we spend time with Gene Kelley, a professor of Pedology and the Deputy Director of the Colorado Agricultural Experiment Station at Colorado State University. We had a wide-ranging conversation talking about the innovation happening in agriculture, soil health and the impacts on water, and even the difficulties of behavior change.  Water, Under Pressure is a podcast about the increasing demands on water in Colorado. And how the choices we make now could tear us apart or help us to navigate our uncertain future.

Using art, David Kellogg grounds a conceptual discussion of "neoformations" through an extended focus on a single line of development (negation) and its varied and accompanying neoformations. This conversation features David's recent translation of Vygotsky's Pedological Works, cross-cultural challenges of developmental education, and ideas for navigating a dangerous world. (First published May 22, 2021) Highlights include: 1:42 - knowing vs. owning a word: Ant's background and aims for the discussion 4:38 - Another interesting word: What is the Synopticon? 6:15 - Yet another: переплетение (intertwining) -- and lace-making (Vermeer's "The Lace Maker") 9:42 - Pedology: a "murdered" science studying the unity of mind/body development 13:24 - Reminder: the map is not the territory 18:30 - Real problems in a dangerous world -- "the crisis of no" (Netscher's "The Lacemaker") 24:29 - Real problems, cont. - "the crisis of no" in Korea (mind, body, culture) 31:54 - When education is not a game (tricky problems and tragic consequences) 33:18 - Unplanned break (due to power outage) 33:22 - Theory picks up where metaphor stops; Vygotsky concurs 35:30 - Trying to understand neoformations using metaphor 38:50 - Limits of the thread metaphor 43:31 - Where are neoformations located? 49:40 - Consulting Vygotsky in times of crisis 51:56 - More types of neoformations - critical and stable ones 55:38 - What is picked apart and rethreaded? More cool examples 59:03 - Unraveling the social situation of development: the environment/child meeting point 1:05:02 - Visualizing 'thread patterns' within and between people (Halliday and Vygotsky) 1:12:14 - Answers without questions: potpourri (Ant's mic stopped working) “. . . with each new epoch, the design must be picked apart and the old materials reknitted in a new way into a new form” - Unraveling Some Threads (early draft) - http://tiny.cc/t4xxtz "I think teaching children to say no - when they're not really sure what they are saying no to - teaching children to say no to adults is kind of the most concrete, most specific, most practical way of thinking about developmental crises. And in fact, when we go back over the developmental crises that Vygotsky was talking about, we see that "No" plays a very important role." - 23:20

Rapid soil formation in engineered soils, as highlighted in the article “Soil Evolution Par for the Golf Course” with Glen Obear. Not all of us who go golfing think about what is happening underneath the green. Glen Obear has always been that kind of guy. Since his high school days, he has wanted to be a golf course superintendent – even though he doesn’t play that much golf! What fascinates him is the science of developing a golf course. We may simply see a beautiful, natural-looking terrain, but those rolling hills and magnificent green fields are the product of the hard work of agronomists, soil scientists, and engineers. They manipulate the elements of soil creation to create a terrain that is perfectly suited to its purpose – an engineered soil.  Engineered soils are everywhere – from an urban garden bed to athletic fields to green roofs. Glen’s internship work at a golf course in Hawaii led him to find an interesting problem that not even his agronomy professors could solve. Iron pan layers called placic layers were developing in the greens between the sand and gravel layers. These layers were preventing the greens from draining water. However, there was little prior literature on these layers developing in engineered soils. He’s now focused his PhD research on these placic layers. Listen in to learn to hear Glen discuss more of his research on engineered soils and to learn: How a putting green is developed, and how they keep it so green What CORPT means The differences between engineered and natural soils If you would like more information about this topic, today’s paper is available here: https://dl.sciencesocieties.org/publications/csa/articles/62/6/4 It will be freely available from 22 June to 6 July, 2018.
