The student will collaborate on efforts to develop digital soil property maps at regional and continental scales. Efforts will include regionalizing and disaggregating existing vector soil survey information, incorporating existing and new point data, and investigating the use of raster data sources to improve the spatial prediction of soil classes and soil properties. The specific project, funded by the US Forest Service, is to develop spatial prediction models of soil organic carbon across the Northeast and North Central United States based on detailed soil map information and soil point data. We seek an individual with an interest in studying soil variability and spatial modeling, as well as an understanding of geographic information science and statistical modeling techniques.

WCSS520

This symposium focuses on Digital Soil Assessment which is the process beyond Digital Soil Mapping (DSM). Once the soil map and the associated accuracy have been produced, these serve as inputs for modelling soil processes (threats to soil, soil functions, soil-environment relationships). The accuracy produced during the DSM process should also be used in the soil-process modelling in order to obtain two kinds of outputs: 1. the spatial distribution of the outputs of modelled soil process, and 2, the associated accuracy of the prediction. Contributions to this new area of discourse are welcomed.

Responding to these and other critical issues, a group of scientists from around the world announced today an ambitious new plan to digitally map the Earth’s soil and its properties. Scientists, industry leaders, and government officials gathered at Columbia University to launch GlobalSoilMap.net, an activity initiated by the IUSS Working Group on Digital Soil Mapping. GlobalSoilMap.net is a pioneering new tool that will shape future policy making, especially in those regions of the world most vulnerable to environmental shocks.
