Soil Projects > iSOIL > Data
iSOIL project is an FP7 one dealing with new technologies for assessing soil properties along depth accurately and with high resolution by combining existing sensors as well as exploring emerging technologies (mainly geophysical). The current page is including a Data Dissemination Platform for the test sites of iSoil Project. iSOIL has generated a wealth of data (maps and associated data sets) integrated for the Nine (9) main project field sites that can be used by other scientists. The following sites and datasets are included in the iSOIL Data:
- Rosslau (Germany): EM31, EM38DD, Gamma, Magnetics, Geoelectrics, Surface Wave
- Fuhrberger Feld (Germany): EM38DD (Geophysics EMI), Natural gamma-ray spectrometry
- Nischwitz (Germany): EM38DD
- Bad Lauchstädt (Germany): EM38, Geophysics Gamma Spectrometry, Surface wave, Magnetics
- Litavka River (Czech Republic): EM38, Geophysics Gamma Spectrometry
- Lany Farm (Czech Republic): Cation Exchange Capacity (CEC), EM31, EM38DD(Geophysics EMI), Magnetics, FeOxides, Geophysics Gamma Spectrometry, pH, SOM, Grain size, Geoelectrics
- Ruzyne (Czech Republic): EM38DD (Geophysics EMI), Geophysics Gamma Spectrometry
- Wagna (Austria): EM38DD (Geophysics EMI), Geophysics Gamma Spectrometry
- Kremikovtsi (Bulgaria): EM38 (Geophysics EMI), Geophysics Gamma Spectrometry, Magnetics
iSOIL data are integrated into the European Soil Data Centre(ESDAC) in order to enhance the collaboration on, and further use of, the data generated in the iSOIL project, also beyopnd the project's lifetime. The data can be downloaded for free and used under the conditions set in the License agreement.
Download the Data
The data of iSoil are provided in various formats (Shape files, Text files, etc). To get access to the data of the iSOIL project (9 Catchments), please compile the online form; instructions will then follow how to download the data .
Example of Catchment: Rosslau
