SIS also provides solutions for the burdgeoning field of establishing carbon baseline data. Concerns about global climate change are driving researchers to develop accurate tools for collecting data related to carbon sequestration and mitigation. SIS is the only tool on the market uniquely able to provide immediate and accurate soil carbon data.
Other Applications
From identifying levee vulnerability and anomalies to examining reclamation and mitigation projects and any project that demands a complete rendering of soil properties, Soil and Topography Information’s SIS (Soil Information System) can give project managers, researchers and technicians the information they need to make fast, accurate assessments of a wide range of landscape features.
Levee Mapping Projects
STI has worked with the US Department of Homeland Security to research applications for SIS to map levee vulnerability in sites such as the Mississippi River and the Sacramento Delta.
