Soil Chemistry group hiking day
In 2021, the traditional soil chemistry hiking day took place on a bright autumn day by the shores of Lake Lucerne. It was a great opportunity to catch up outside of the office and the lab.
This year we were pleased that we once again had an opportunity to catch up with colleagues while enjoying the Swiss alpine scenery. Delaying the date well into autumn, due to this year's long field-work season, rewarded us with a beautiful clear and colourful day for our trip. Our walk was at a lower altitude to walks that we took in previous years, allowing us to admire the autumn colours around the edges of Lake Lucerne. Our hike finished at the famed Rütliwiese, the birthplace of Switzerland, where we swore an oath to the advancement of Soil Chemsitry in our home countries.
