Brazilian Soil Spectral Library

In 2009 it was launched the first initiative to form an international group in the study of soil spectroscopy. The initiative is based on a single principle: to assign data. It became clear after a long time with only an initiative without the institutional formality (at least at first), but with the formality among researchers, it would be possible to get somewhere. This becomes clear when observing the years and years of study without practical advances in spectroscopy, with expensive equipment of high technology and few users. The creation of this group is encouraging even more international participation. More information about the beginning of these actions can be accessed at the following website:
