------------------ You Talk Back --------------
ARE WE SPECIAL?
Jeff suggests "I really don't believe that we [humans] are as 'significant'
as we would like to be. And as many folks may be reluctant to admit, these
so called studies and scientific analyses are responsible for keeping a
vast portion of the scientific community afloat where employment and
government funding is concerned."

GEOMORPHOLOGY JOBS?
Mark would "like to know if there is much work in the real world (not
academia) in the field of Geomorphology (any area soils, fluvial, or
alluvial)."
