Welcome to the NRCS National Cartography and Geospatial Center web site.
 |
In the future, an NRCS employee will be in the field with a suite of integrated tools and data on a tablet computer with a
wireless connection to a GPS, data and other information. The employee will begin an inventory and the system would
pre-populate the electronic "form" with the information for that site/area such as location, soils, vegetation, elevation,
landform, remote sensing analysis...data they had loaded from the warehouse. They would complete the inventory or assessment
and upload the data to the warehouse. A field conservationist would use some of the same inventory and warehouse functionality
along with Toolkit for planning. NRCS is bringing experts in each field together to outline the requirements for integration of
mobile data collection with the Geospatial Data Warehouse.
