Precision Soil Maps: Moving Beyond Soil Survey

The Precision Soil Maps: Moving Beyond Soil Survey webinar focuses on work being done at Purdue to move beyond the traditional soil surveys and the role data science plays in that. Ackerson’s research focuses on two main pillars 1) developing and testing novel soil sensing systems for improved measurement of soil properties and 2) developing systems to integrate novel sensor information into spatiotemporal soil mapping and monitoring applications. Check out his video update on research regarding digital soil mapping to support precision agriculture in the Wabash Heartland Innovation Network region.
