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.
Only 9 variables performed as well as the full spectra... Spectral variable selection for estimation of soil organic carbon content using mid‐infrared spectroscopy

It is great to see #OpenSource spectroscopy from the microplastic community. A great model for the soil spectroscopy community to follow. Check out @OpenSpecy -- they have developed some nice tools including binary read functions that work well.
#OpenSourceData is the future of what we are developing with @OpenSpecy @ToMExApp @ThePlastiverse. We are going beyond just sharing #OpenData and toward fully transparent #OpenSource ecosystems of data sharing applications developed by the community that they support.
Great event. @zecojls will give an overview of OSSL.
Interested in soil and love data? Of course you do. The line up for our first session (June 20 at 2100UTC) in the “Soil data, knowledge and semantics” workshop is finalized! Go over https://docs.google.com/document/d/1njLQnye9-mLJgdmS6Rm4khKYmZHjn2JlVIC0PKeQe90/edit?usp=sharing to check it out and register!
I've heard they do a lot of soil spectroscopy 🙂
We (@WoodwellClimate) are looking for a new lab manager / field safety officer. This is a great opportunity to support science from the Arctic to the Amazon and all the great places in-between.
