Keywords: Proximal Sensors, Soil Mapping and Soil Morphometrics

Session Description: Considerable progress has been made in digital soil mapping and the timely collection of new soil data and information. There is an increased demand for soil information by a range of users that drives many of the new soil projects. The wide array and use of proximal soil sensors contributes to increased data availability and soil information, and there is potential for using digital morphometrics for in situ soil characterization. Digital pedology has the potential to reframe our understanding of soils and be valuable in the resurrection of pedology programs across the world.
