William Miller Post-tenure Review August 9, 2010

Background: BS, MS: Environmental soil science, Purdue PhD: Soil chemistry, Virginia Tech Appointment: Since 1981 ½ Instruction, ½ Research Soil conservation Soil chemistry …. Pedology

Instruction: CRSS/FANR 3060: Soils and Hydrology students/semester, Fall & Spring Co-teach with WSFNR faculty Service course: Forestry, Hort, other ag majors Lab sections: 5/semester, 20 students TA’s: supervise labs (2 CRSS, 2 WSFNR) Field trips, quantitative measurements

CRSS 4580/6580-L: Soil Erosion & Conservation Every other year; students Lab will be deleted (distance to/from Griffin) Not required CRSS 4660/6660-L: Environ. Chemical Analysis Every year; 8-12 students; lab-intensive Thompson will take over in 2011 Required for Environ. Chem; grad student interest

FANR(CRSS) 4700: Hydrology, Soils and Geology of Georgia (Maymester; alternate years)

Temporary Courses: CRSS 4670/6670: Environ. Soil Chemistry 2006-’08; Thompson taken over CRSS 8000: Soil Physical Chemistry since 90’s 2009: Thompson and Huang

New Courses (‘07, from L. West) CRSS/GEOL 4540/6540-L: Pedology Required; students/year Field-intensive course (2 all day field trips) CRSS 3540: Soil Morphology (soil judging) National Collegiate Soil Judging competition SE Regional in fall; Nationals in spring Co-teach with Larry Morris (WSFNR)

Southeast Regional: Virginia Tech: October undergrads did not place…

Southeastern Regional: Crossville, TN (UT/Knoxville): Oct undergrads, 4 grad students 2 students in top 10 (out of 75) team placed 5 th (out of 12)

National Contest: Lubbock, TX, Texas Tech Univ. March Undergrads 5 th highest individual Placed 8 th (out of 21) team

Issues with Soil Judging: -- expensive: private fund-raising; limited state/univ support -- large time commitment (students and faculty) -- small class: large investment per student Benefits: -- intensive learning opportunity (students, faculty) -- chance for students to travel -- increases visibility of University in region, nation UGA hosts the Regional competition this fall (October)

Research Soil erosion/runoff processes in SE soils Land application of wastes/soil contaminants -- byproduct gypsum, fly ash (coal-fired utilities) -- pulp mill waste -- waste wallboard -- municipal sewage sludge (biosolids) beneficial re-use vs. environmental hazards

Law suit: filed 2006, District Federal court Dairy farmers and ex-EPA employee vs. Miller et al. EPA grant to study sewage on grass, Burke Co. (2000) Diary cow deaths, 2 farms, received Augusta sludge (On-going suits vs. city, EPD, EPA since mid-90’s) Claim: falsified grant application, data in report, JEQ article (aided EPA in defending other suits) After 4 years, no ruling yet…
