Kirkham Conference 2004 The 2004 Kirkham Conference was held October 28 and 29, at Utah State University (USU) in Logan, UT, where Don Kirkham taught mathematics and physics. It was at Utah State University that Don met his wife, Betty, and became interested in soil physics. Ten distinguished speakers addressed latest insights regarding physical and biological soil processes across different scales. The 2004 conference is sponsored by the Soil Science Society of America, the USU Department of Plants, Soils and Biometeorology, and the USU Soil Physics Group For detailed information please visit the official conference webpage: .

Kirkham Conference 2000 The first Kirkham Conference was held Nov.2 and 3, 2000, at Iowa State University. The conference honors the late Don Kirkham, Curtiss Distinguished Professor of Agriculture and professor of physics, and his wife Betty. It was sponsored by the Soil Science Society of America, the Iowa State Water Resources Research Institute and the Iowa State University Department of Agronomy. Kirkham Conferences are intended to be small, intense conferences focused on a single critical issue in soil physics and hydrology. Attendance is by invitation only, and conferees come to ask questions and discuss approaches more than to present results. This first Kirkham Conference focused on scale issues in soil and hydrology.
