LATEST DEVELOPMENT
5 December 2021 On this World Soils Day, the Soil Spectroscopy for the Global Good Coordinated Innovation Network is pleased to announce the release of
Dear spectroscopy friends, This project has been slowly building steam over one year of pandemic forced remote meetings and we’re really hoping that we can
Please join us for our second soil spectroscopy webinar featuring Dr. Leonardo Ramirez-Lopez (Wednesday, May 5 2021, 9 am EDT). Dr. Ramirez-Lopez is head of the Data
AN OPEN SOIL
SPECTROSCOPY LIBRARY
Making soil data available across borders
Today's data-driven agriculture demands access to high-resolution spatial and temporal soil data streams. Soil spectroscopy can help fill this data gap. Diffuse reflectance spectroscopy is becoming an indispensable tool in soil science; however, several technical challenges still limit its broader application outside of research projects.
SoilSpec4GG is a USDA-funded Food and Agriculture Cyberinformatics Tools Coordinated Innovation Network. This project will bring together soil scientists, spectroscopists, informaticians, data scientists and software engineers to overcome some of the current bottlenecks preventing wider and more efficient use of soil spectroscopy. A series of working groups will be formed to address topics including calibration transfer, model choice, outreach & demonstration, and use of spectroscopy to inform global carbon cycle modeling.
MAJOR PROJECT OUTPUTS
ACCESS WEB-SERVICES USING API
Data and software / computing will be served through robust and easy to use web-services and API. Users should be able to upload their soil spectroscopy readings and obtain callibrations in near-to-real time.
DOCUMENTATION, TUTORIALS
All software and data will be accompanied with extensive documentation. Demonstration, outreach and educational activities will promote the use of the OSSL and data-driven science.
Screening 119 soil properties from the KSSL MIR library for their predictability. Nice work by @NgWartini & @BudimanSoil. 50 were found to produce high quality predictions.

@soilspec @tom_hengl Open spectro folks can feed back fixes with OPUS binary imports 🙂 If this is interrelated, @pierreroudier and me have been working on an improved reader: https://tinyurl.com/amj5nk5a . I have ATM a frozen semi-stable fork: https://tinyurl.com/38rfsnst no strings and promises attached
If you missed our December webinar here is the recording. @tom_hengl gave a run thru of the OSSL. We've been listening to your feedback and working hard to keep improving the service - recent additions include ability to upload opus and asd files.
📣New video: we recently launched the Open #Soil #Spectral Library (OSSL) for the Soil Spectroscopy for the Global Good @soilspec project!
