	Soil Formation, Alaska Science Forum (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Soil at the agricultural project near Big Delta, Alaska, is all post-glacial, and so, is typically younger than 10,000 years--some of it much younger.
		The most important of them are the invertebrates living in the soil; they are insects, roundworms, millipedes, centipedes and earthworms who help decompose plant material by feeding upon it and loosening the soil by burrowing through it, thereby helping to aerate it and make paths for water and plant roots.
		All these processes act in Alaska to produce about an inch of agriculturally suitable soil in 80 to 100 years, which is equal to about two or more tons per acre each year.

		The FAA has considered the Alaska Airmen's Association request and agrees that a low altitude exclusion area to allow access to D66, to and from the northwest, without communication with BIG ATCT during visual flight rules (VFR) conditions is acceptable.

	Upwelling study
		For anadromous fish like salmon that run up rivers from the sea to spawn and then leave their eggs in the gravels to mature, maintanence of spawning habitat is closely-coupled to the hydrologic processes that control the quality, quantity, distribution, and flow of water within the gravel matrix.
		In the case of chum salmon that spawn in the Fall in Interior Alaska, the flow of relatively warm groundwater through the gravels during the winter is critical to maintaining that habitat.
		The survey area is a 35-mile winding course of the Tanana River from the Delta River to the Little Delta River, Alaska, and includes portions of both the north and south banks.
