Data Outreach

Soils Theme Lead outreach:

• Fields private calls from state employees regarding the difference between the General Soils for Montana STATSGO and SSURGO data.

• Works with State agency specialists to develop models using SSURGO data as a variable.

• Answering questions from the general public about soil uses and limitations.

• Reviews the soil survey publication list on MSL Soils MSDI web page.

• When the dataset is re-published with updates, notification is sent to the State Library’s Geographic Information Facebook page and to the GIS community via the State Library’s GeoInfo email account.
