[Esip-soil-informatics] ESIP SOI Cluster Recap

[Todd-Brown, Kathe]

Greetings all!


We had a fantastic presentation from Erin Berryman from the US Forest Service on how the Forest Inventory and Analysis database deals with geo-location including a history of the database, and how the forest service balances privacy concerns with public resource data. Main take away precise geolocation of the plots is kept in-house and the public data has random noise introduced into the data and some small number of locations swapped within counties. You can hear more (plus bonus material on litter & soil surveys in the FIA) on the youtube recording here: https://youtu.be/Sdm0HzGQz_U and in the slide deck posted on the meeting notes: https://docs.google.com/document/d/12OtoXo6YV4zK9a79VeJK8XE7iEf02hF9Uf-ggQ8YlG4/edit?usp=sharing
