Background
Production of a specialized order 2/3 soil survey for the park
Combined effort of NRCS, NPS, UC Davis at Pinnacles National Monument, CA
Investigation of new approaches to processing, extrapolating, and presenting soil pedon data
Temblor: loose granitic fanglomerate
Volcanics: rhyolite & r. breccia
North
Field Site: Pinnacles National Monument
Objectives
fast, efficient, mulituser capabilities
Digitize paper pedon description forms (300+)
hierarchical storage of pedon data, accessible via SQL / web interface
seamless association with GIS vector and raster data sources
aggregation of soil attributes via SQLbased queries
