Tile with the text "USF Blog", the title "Vital grounds: Revaluing urban soils in the afterlife of mining" and the author name Anastasiya Halauniova, over a photograph of a roadside construction site. A lorry stands behind a mound of excavated soil and orange safety netting, with large green trees and a blue glass tower behind. The USF logo is in the top right corner. Dark blue tile with the label "USF Blog" and the USF logo, and white text reading: "Soil remediation is not a process of returning soils to an imagined 'pristine' condition, a condition that may not be attainable, but a process through which new regimes of value, new forms of urban governance, and new multispecies relations are produced."
