Once I had enough high-resolution climate data to work with, the final part of the Climate phase was the creation of maps with discrete climate zones, which I produced in both the Trewartha classification scheme, left, and the Köppen classification scheme, right.

The final phase of the Ayrum mapmaking project was to create realistic satellite style maps, which began with mapping out soil colors and the ground cover of vegetation generally and tree-analogues specifically.

Once I knew where the plants belonged, I then determined what colors they'd be in the conditions they're adapted for, as seen in the maps, and under seasonal variation, with the chart showing how plants with certain adaptations react to seasonal changes in those conditions.

In these gifs we see the ground plants and tree canopies changing colors as the Solstices and Equinoxes expose them to greater or lesser rainfall and harsher or milder temperatures than what they're adapted for. Neither of these gifs provide a true image of what the surface looks like from space, but rather of the in-person appearance of whatever plants may be present.

Finally, using the vegetation density maps as raster masks for the seasonal plant color maps, and layering those with the snow-and-ice maps over the soil color map, we now have a much truer image of Ayrum's surface as of its (Northern) Winter, Spring, Summer, and Autumn months.

By the nineteenth century, the night-soil men had evolved a precise choreography for their labors. They worked the graveyard shift, between midnight and five a.m., in teams of four: a “ropeman,” a “holeman,” and two “tubmen.” The team would affix lanterns at the edge of the cesspit, then remove the floorboards or stone covering it, sometimes with a pickax. If the waste had accumulated high enough, the ropeman and holeman would begin by scooping it out with the tub. Eventually, as more night soil was removed, the men would lower a ladder down and the holeman would descend into the pit and scoop waste into his tub. The ropeman would help pull up each full tub, and pass it along to the tubmen who emptied the waste into their carts. It was standard practice for the night-soil men to be offered a bottle of gin for their labors. As one reported to Mayhew: “I should say that there's been a bottle of gin drunk at the clearing of every two, ay, and more than every two, out of three cesspools emptied in London; and now that I come to think on it, I should say that's been the case with three out of every four.”

How Can Digital Soil Mapping in the USA Be Rewarding for Framers? 

In agriculture, the foundation of crop health and productivity lies beneath our feet—in the soil. This dynamic, living ecosystem plays a pivotal role in successful farming. Understanding soil means leveraging its potential to improve agricultural outcomes. Soil mapping in the USA makes this possible. The soil’s balance of nutrients, moisture, and organic matter profoundly impacts crop yields, farm profitability, and ecological sustainability. By using soil mapping, we can contribute to a healthier planet, ensuring that our farming practices are sustainable and environmentally responsible.

The process of soil surveying and mapping involves collecting data from fieldwork and laboratory analysis. This information is then combined with GIS vector data, which contains the geometry of the soil mapping unit polygons. Previously, this data was produced in analogical format, but now, examples of soil databases and vector data themes can be found online through various resources across Canada, the USA and internationally. Soil maps can be very easily accessed through services like web soil survey programs at the national or regional level. It’s important to note that the information content of the soil map, which is highly dependent on the scale, should be the starting point for any analysis.

When I was a field school student nobody wanted to ride the hour drive to site in the packed Archaeology Van. Any chance we got we rode to the boat launch with the visiting lecturers and researchers.

And spending 2 hours in a Tacoma backseat with our soil sciences prof was maybe the best choice several of us ever made. He'd just casually talk about the glacial history of the region, point out cool rock formations, and talk about how you can pick up a spadeful of soil from a village site and tell people lived there by how different it was from forest soils.

At one point I mentioned a tiny town I stopped for lunch in on trips to the Yukon and he goes "hey, did you know there's permafrost on the north side of the rage overlooking that diner? Most southern place I've ever found it."

You expect dirt to be boring, but you really just need to hear about it from the right people.

I’ve been doing some field work with geologists this winter and I’m kind of amazed by how these dudes can pick up a handful of dirt and talk about it for an hour using terms I’ve never heard of. Like wow you see a whole universe in there that I don’t. The world is truly full of beauty and we only comprehend a fraction of it.

When will the cicadas come out?

Cicadas emerge when the soil temperature is 65 degrees at 8 inches deep.

A handful of tools can tell you the current soil temperature and forecast the upcoming soil temperature.

simon ghost riley adores when you're a little bit messy during sex, all due to his fault, with your hair mussed over along the crumpled pillowcases, every ounce of skin mapped throughfully with wet hickeys and sweet, tingling bruises, sensitive nubs of your breasts all swollen and pebbled, skin around gathering goosebumps, but what attracts his attention the most, is how soaked your panties are, soiled completely, tucked aside to expose your puffy pussy.

he jerks the hot, swollen girth of his cock all over the thin, cotton fabric, precum pearly and dripping steadily off his rudy, engorged tip, soaking into your panties and mixing in with the slick mess that oozes helplessly out of your pulsing, gaping hole, but simon keeps leaving her without any attention, needy and soppy while he rubs down into your cunt, catching on the fluttering folds and your ruined underwear.

simon plunges in your pussy only when his stomach coils with impending orgasm, making his cock twitch and throb restlessly, before sinking in the slick, cushiony tightness of your hole, pliable, walls stretching to accommodate his thick length, clamping around impatiently, with little noises escaping out your gaping mouth breathless and saccharine, keening prettily while he humps in with quick pumps, your pretty legs only spreading wider, encouraging him for more.
