Some dirt on dirt data

Sometimes I think back to last Sept when I got a chance to see data in a different role. That is, as a central player in solving civilization-scale challenges. So much has been done, yet there is so much more to do. Just as one example there is soil data. More and more data is being gathered on soil moisture, weather and crop conditions, but new storage techniques, analytical methods and search algorithms are required, as a U of Wis. (Go, Bucky Badger!) researcher said at the conference. - Jack Vaughan
