Hello my name is Heather Talley, I am a mother of a 4 year old son named Hayden James and he is the main reason why I have decided to go back to school. What brings me to the Environmental field is that I have always been fascinated with the way that ecosystems thrive or don't thrive and what it is that may effect the balance. I started to mainly be interested in Geology because one of my main goals is to better understand the way the earth can neutralize or buffer out the pollutants that we are increasingly adding to the environment. So far the main studies I have done where on the buffering capacities of the different soil horizons to see how they may buffer out the pH of a very acidic acid rain (pH 5), but I am also interested on the way that the plants can filter out air born pollutants. I am very excited to learn the proper way to gather data and samples; as well as, the correct way to log the data in the field book. I am also excited to get the field training that most students do not have the opportunity to receive, I feel that it will be a real leg up when it comes time to transfer or even get an entry level position.

With your experience in studying buffering capacities of soil horizons--sounds like you're off to a great start! Now--take it to the next level! And--Love seeing your son :-)
