Dear colleagues,
In February 2021 we had our first Pedometrics Webinar. It was so well received by the community that we decided to have a second round. Therefore, we are now happy to welcome you all to join the second Pedometrics webinar, this time focusing on topics relevant to the WGs Digital Soil Mapping (and Assessment) and Global Soil Map. The event will take place on 16 and 17 June 2021.
The format (3.5 hours length for each time zone):
- Introduction (5 minutes)
- Setting the scene in the field in DSM/Global Soil Map: three 15(+5) minutes talks (total 1 hour)
- Break (15 minutes with online breakout room option for informal discussion/small talk/coffee/beer)
- Short talks (preference for early career scientists): four 7(+3) minutes talks + 10 minutes general discussion total 50 minutes)
- Break (15 minutes with online breakout room option for informal discussion/small talk/coffee/beer)
- Short talks (preference for early career scientists): four 7(+3) minutes talks + 10 minutes general discussion total 50 minutes)
- Closing (5 minutes)
Important dates:
- Abstract submission opens May 4th. This is a google form. If you can not access it please send an email to laura (dot) poggio (at) isric (dot) com and titia (dot) mulder (at) wur (dot) nl.

Participation & registration
You are welcome to join both days, free of charge. If you submit an abstract you will be able to present your work in your preferred time zone. For participation and abstract submission, please fill in the registration form: https://forms.gle/mDSkw4KKtgfV1NaC6
Abstract submission is open to all career stages. We encourage all early career scientists to join and submit an abstract to this event for the short talks! ‘Set-the-scene’ talks are contributions that should focus on the future of DSM/GlobalSoilMap and/or reflecting on existing challenges.
Note, if you have submitted an abstract in the first webinar and did not present, feel free to submit the same abstract again.
All pedometricians are encouraged to join in order to contribute to the fruitful scientific discussion.
Looking forward to see you all (online) soon,
All the best,
The organizing committee,
Laura Poggio, Titia Mulder, Nicolas Saby, Alessandro Samuel-Rosa, Alexandre Wadoux, Pierre Roudier
