Alessandro Samuel-Rosa
Dear colleagues in the Pedometrics community,
I am passing along some information I recently received regarding the ongoing election for the 2026 International Union of Soil Sciences (IUSS) President-Elect.
Dr. Richard J. Heck, chair of Division 1, has reached out to share that he has been nominated for the position by the current President of the Canadian Society of Soil Science (Dr. Judith Nyiraneza) and the current Chair of the US National Committee for Soil Science (Dr. Eugene Kelly).
For those interested in reviewing his platform, he has shared his 'Statement of Intent' along with his nomination documents. He has also provided a 5-minute nomination video, which can be viewed here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=8TnEPFJBPdk.
Please note that I am circulating this message strictly for informational purposes to ensure our community is aware of the proceedings. I do not yet have information regarding other nominated candidates, and forwarding this details does not constitute an official endorsement.
Best regards,
Ciências do Solo para o
Desenvolvimento Sustentável
