The Sixth Global
Proximal Soil Sensing
Workshop
Unveil advances in theory and practice to promote adoption
Introduction of The Sixth Global Proximal Soil Sensing Workshop
The workshop is organized by Gent University on behalf of the Working Group on Proximal Soil Sensing (WGPSS), established in 2008 under the International Union of Soil Sciences (IUSS). Since established the WGPSS group organised five Workshops to discuss advances in technology of proximal soil sensing to overcome the shortcomings of the laboratory methods of soil analyses. Indeed, to overcome the bottleneck of data acquisition by traditional means, soil inventory has evolved into the direction of proximal soil sensing. This is according to the paradigm "Measure more, less precise", or in other words, bring the laboratory measurements into the field to increase the spatial coverage, but at the cost of measurement precision.
The Sixth Global Proximal Soil Sensing Workshop will continue the discussion from theory and practice perspectives, giving focus on practical applicability of the technology in soil science, precision agriculture, environmental sciences archeology and natural resources management. The Workshop invites participants from academia and industry working on topics including, but not limited to, soil and environmental sciences, agricultural engineering, archeology, forensic investigations, sensor development, near surface geophysics, spectroscopy, agronomy, spatial statistics, and artificial intelligence.
