Our project will allow researchers and students at Cranfield University, together with our research partners and collaborators, the opportunity to access, share and interact with a broad range of natural resource, soil and land-related materials gathered from around the world which are held in Cranfield's 'World Soil Survey Archive and Catalogue', WOSSAC (www.wossac.com).Cranfield University's Department of Environmental Sciences and Technology is active and innovative in developing and applying systems approaches to soils, landscape ecology, biodiversity and ecosystem goods and services. As part of its integrative approach, Cranfield University has collected and catalogued the 'World Soil Survey Archive and Catalogue' (WOSSAC) over the last decade. This is a continually expanding collection comprising over 23,000 catalogued paper documents, maps and other materials relating to soils and land resources in about 300 territories worldwide. The material is complex, diverse and some of it is physically fragile. It includes much rare grey literature and, for many items, WOSSAC holds the only available copy. This project will provide the means necessary to enable capture of these materials in digital form and the pathways to make these materials available for access by researchers and interested stakeholders.Our environmental research also leads us to consider the physical, chemical and biological processes at work in the soil and land system. Important to this is developing our shared understanding of changes that may occur due to natural and anthropogenic processes, and their impact and consequence. Our project will enable the capture and visual representation of these processes in three dimensions through dedicated 3D scanning and visualisation equipment. The visualisation suite, with its specialised visualisation software designed for the geosciences, will provide the tools for exploration of multi-dimensional 'big data' as well as new and powerful means to convey results and analyses, and to communicate risk and uncertainty to potential beneficiaries of research.Appropriate computing facilities will also be put in place to permit the storage and dissemination of these materials to research collaborators and interested stakeholders.

我们的项目将使克兰菲尔德大学的研究人员和学生，以及我们的研究合作伙伴和合作者，有机会访问，分享和互动的自然资源，土壤和土地相关的材料，这些材料来自世界各地，保存在克兰菲尔德的“世界土壤调查档案和目录”，WOSSAC（www.wossac.com）。克兰菲尔德大学的环境科学与技术系是活跃的，在土壤、景观生态学、生物多样性和生态系统货物和服务方面制定和应用系统方法方面具有创新性。作为其综合方法的一部分，克兰菲尔德大学在过去十年中收集并编目了“世界土壤调查档案和目录”（WOSSAC）。这是一个不断扩大的收藏，包括23 000多份编目的纸质文件、地图和其他材料，涉及全世界约300个领土的土壤和土地资源。这些材料复杂多样，有些在物理上很脆弱。它包括许多罕见的灰色文献，对于许多项目，WOSSAC拥有唯一可用的副本。该项目将提供必要的手段，使这些材料以数字形式捕获和途径，使这些材料提供给研究人员和感兴趣的利益相关者访问。我们的环境研究还导致我们考虑在土壤和土地系统中工作的物理，化学和生物过程。重要的是发展我们对自然和人为过程可能发生的变化及其影响和后果的共同理解。我们的项目将通过专用的3D扫描和可视化设备以三维方式捕获和可视化表示这些过程。可视化套件，其专门的可视化软件设计的地球科学，将提供工具，探索多维的“大数据”，以及新的和强大的手段来传达结果和分析，并将风险和不确定性传达给研究的潜在受益者。还将建立适当的计算设施，以便储存和向研究合作者传播这些材料，利益相关者。
