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.
A great series of introductory tutorials on #soilspectroscopy in R programming language organized by @FAO #GLOSOLAN put together by Alexandre Wadoux, @BudimanSoil and Alex McBratney

A super tool for the #soilspectroscopy community to play with.
Thrilled to have our new mIRage-LS sub-micron resolution infrared microscope installed @KeiluweitLab @FGSE_UNIL @UNIL. Big 🙏 to Sergey Zayats, @PhotothermalIR and @mkansiz5 for a great week of training. First users @JakusNatalia @ABoscoSantos 👇, many more to come soon! 😃🔬🦠
As always, @WoodwellClimate is hiring (https://www.woodwellclimate.org/careers/), but I wanted to highlight this important #STEM science support role - run our analytical lab and provide field and lab safety support.
