Online Interface to PINN Soils data

 
Initial access to Pinnacles soil survey products and educational materials through two different interactive webpages. The standard interface is functionally very similar to our lab's online soil survey. Currently, the standard interface provides simple querying of the existing SSURGO products and pedon data that has been collected in the field. The "info" tool on the left hand side of the interface can be used to interactively query these features. The underlying infrastructure accepts soil data both in SSURGO and PedLogic formats. A newer interface based on the Ka-Map product will provide the flexibility required to include all of the many forms of educational materials that will be part of our final product. Some of these new materials will include:

• Annotated landscape, vegetation, and soil pit photographs
• Block diagrams illustrating various geologic, terrian, and environmental factors related to the distribution of soils
• Depth profiles of soil information from both lab and field sources.
• Links to several transects which highlight variation as a function of (x)
• Links to trails and trail markers, for a reference to reality
• Information related to the collection of soils data in the field
• Misc. products related to soils and soil forming factors: eroson/deposition, hydrologic modeling...
