Wishing you a season filled with radiance and beauty.

We celebrate with you through an image that has guided scientists, engineers, and artists for over a century: a Munsell color chart. Created in 1915 by Albert H. Munsell, the Munsell color system was adopted by the United States Department of Agriculture in the 1930s as the official color system for soil research and remains widely used today. This beautiful system provides a common means to describe with precision the subtle variations of the world we perceive.
At Weiss, we share the spirit of precision and beauty, whether we are characterizing soil samples or clarifying complex environmental challenges. We are grateful for the trust you place in us to illuminate what matters most. We wish you good health, discovery, and inspiration throughout the holidays and into the year ahead.

Juneteenth commemorates June 19th, 1865, a date that marked the end of enslavement for over three million black Americans, when word of freedom, through the Emancipation Proclamation, spread to Galveston, Texas.

Weiss has made Juneteenth an official holiday to celebrate this milestone in our history.

We at Weiss look forward to the day when wearing masks, maintaining physical distance, incessant hand washing, and sanitizing are no longer a part of our everyday routine. We want the COVID-19 pandemic to be over. We want to feel safe in our communities and to be able to shake hands again.

So our staff have stepped up! We are all fully vaccinated. It takes everyone. Join us in protecting your community by getting vaccinated.

Weiss Associates has adopted Hoover STEAM Elementary School via the Adopt-an-Oakland School Program of the Oakland Public Education Fund (Ed Fund).

Through shared values to promote healthy lifestyles and career readiness for students, volunteers from the Weiss team work with the Ed Fund and educators at Hoover STEAM Elementary to provide engaging science-based events.

March kicked off a virtual science read-in, with Weiss volunteers sharing inspiring books written by a diverse group of authors. In April, Weiss teamed up with the Ed Fund for science careers week, during which volunteers shared their personal career journeys in pre-recorded videos and in two live virtual demonstrations with more than 170 students and educators.

“It was really gratifying to see so many of the students engaged and asking questions! I'll definitely be signing up for the next live demo!” – Mike Priestaf, Staff Geologist
