Editor's Notes

  1. Joe Brennan Soil Data Quality Specialist for GIS in North Dakota and the Northern Great Plains MLRA Region. Topographic rendering of North Dakota demonstrates that North Dakota is most certainly not flat State with variable landscapes needs a multidimensional strategy to model the topography
  2. Soil Landscape Modeling has been seen as the future of Soil Survey for the last ten years with SOLIM (Soil Land Inference Model) and susbequent projects. Field Soil Scientist have tacit knowledge of Soil Landscape relationships to the point that many can predict to a high level of accuracy where a soil series will occur within a mapunit that may contain 5-10 series. The only thing preventing us from making strides in this effort is the limited availability of datasets that accurately represent the landscape. Therefore we have been a part of multiple efforts in the last several years to improve the topographic base, which our State Conservationist has strongly supported. Not only for soil survey, but for other applications that will come to light as we further explore this data.
  3. To demonstrate the importance of this data I went through an exercise in cross-sectioning the same landscape using all digital terrain data we have available to us. SRTM is interferometric radar data that creates a surface model not a terrain model.
  4. Then the National Elevation Dataset 30m resolution creates a smooth terrain model, but coarser in resolution
  5. And 10m resolution. These are both good products, but they are limited by spatial resolution and the intervals in the existing hypsography.
  6. IFSAR is also a surface model, but is post-processed into a digital terrain model that is a fairly accurate representation of the surface in the right conditions
  7. LIDAR is of course the gold standard having seemingly limitless applications
  8. In the Eastern Dakotas and NW MN the data is becoming readiliy available. We have pursued IFSAR in areas of moderate relief recognizing that a statewide LIDAR collection is unlikely with the lower land-use intensity outside of the Red-River Basin. While LIDAR and IFSAR are very different products we are using them interchangably for soil survey. IFSAR data is a desirable product in canopy free conditions and luckly for us in North Dakota that is 99% of the state.
  9. Slope in lower relief areas are better represented by remotely sensed terrain models LIDAR & IFSAR
  10. Microrelief is best represented by LIDAR where cms of elevation change can make all the difference in soil formation
  11. While the difference between these two oblique views are very subtle, when you get right down to it in modeling for such things a depressional landscapes these products make all the difference.
  12. In older soil surveys less soils were used and often times certain unique features were glossed over, that may be seen as critical. Glaciolacustrine soils identified in soil survey, where we would expect them to also be mapped on ice-walled lake plains
  13. The coarser beach ridges on Lake Agassiz are often times not ridges at all, but may only be a foot or so difference in elevation and sometimes not recognizable in photography
  14. Ice drag markings in the Red River Valley need to be further investigated to see if there is a unique morphological environment
  15. Patterns of surface drainage are very evident in LIDAR data. We see a lot of soils formerly mapped as depressional with surface drainage.
  16. The complexity of a channel in alluvium is significant to soil formation and potential landuse and is most certainly not evident in leaf on imagery
  17. Slope length is significant in conservation planning, it is not populated in many soil surveys, but maybe we can take a second look
  18. We can better quantify which slopes are contained within delineations, to build consistent slope groups and consistent methods of interpreting slopes
  19. Soils & Hydrology can both be infered in a great level of detail, to some degree through accurate depiction of the landscape.
