Capacity development on Digital soil Mapping

Capacity development on DSM2nd Workshop of the INSII

Guillermo Federico Olmedo and Christian Omuto

23-25 November 2016, FAO HQ, Malaysia Room, Rome,Italy

DSM

e learning course on DSM

soil mapping principles, DSM practice, and productdissemination:It begins by exposure to the basic principles of soilformation and soil mapping, then illustrates the evolution ofsoil mapping paradigms and advent of DSM, stresses onthe application of computing and GIS, and finallydemonstrating how to document and disseminate DSMproducts.Users of soil information intending to build their ownsoil-map databases can also benefit from the course.Duration: 9 learning weeks and a final examinationCertification: Successful participants will be given DSMcertificate of FAO, GSP

DSM

Course objectives

Understand the meaning and evolution of the concept ofdigital soil mapping (DSM)Understand soil mapping principlesAppreciate the differences between conventional anddigital soil mapping approachesIdentify sources of input data for DSMEvaluate input and output data in a DSM processAppreciate the strengths and weakness of legacy data,computing and GIS in DSMProduce a soil map using DSM approachProperly document DSM products
