Recent technological advances in soil mapping, data acquisition and management, and computational capabilities have had a major impact on pedometrics. The world now becomes closer and pedometrics is now being applied worldwide. This conference will highlight the advances, trends and cross-disciplinary pedometrical applications. The conference is designed to bring together leading international scientists involved in pedometrics and those who are interested to improve our understanding of soil-landscapes. We will critically discuss emerging global soil mapping concepts and quantitative methods that will shape the next generation of soil-landscape models.
