This international conference is a joint effort of two working groups of the
International Union of Soil Science (IUSS) commission “pedometrics”,
namely the Digital Soil Mapping Working Group (DSMWG) and the
GlobalSoilMap working group (GSM WG).
Digital Soil Mapping (DSM) is a process to generate spatial soil information
integrating soil data with environmental information using (geo) statistical
and machine learning approaches. The key issues of digital soil mapping
include the adoption of new mapping tools and techniques, data
management systems, innovative delivery of soil data, and methods to
analyse, integrate, and visualize soil and environmental datasets. It has
been further extended to Digital Soil Assessment that provide examples and
methods for using the generated maps for various land management
purposes. The DSM working group meets every two years once in different
locations. Previous examples are 2016 – Aarhus (Denmark), 2014 – Nanjing
(China), 2012 – Sydney (Australia), 2010 – Rome (Italy), 2008 – Logan (Utah,
USA), 2006 – Rio de Janeiro (Brazil), 2004 – Montpellier (France).
The aims of the GlobalSoilMap working group (GSM WG) are
The GlobalSoilMap working group had two dedicated conferences: Orléans (France) 2013 and Moscow (Russia) 2017. The first two joint workshops of the two working groups were organized in Santiago (Chile) and Orléans (France) in 2019 and 2023 respectively.
