Description

What is digital soil mapping? What are the contributions of remote sensing to the mapping of soils? Challenges & limitations?

This webinar provides a basic overview of the most common types of data and approaches, focusing a bit more on satellite remote sensing in the optical range; describing the methodologies and providing examples of applications.

The Soil Sensing webinars 1 & 2 are intended for all soil researchers that are interested in soil sensing, but have no or little experience of the techniques and wants to learn more.
