1 The New York City Soil Survey Olga Vargas, USDA-NRCS Soil Scientist May 2018

2 New York City Soil Survey Program Since 1995 A partnership was established between: NRCS NYC-SWCD Cornell University To address the complexities of urban needs with a multi-faceted soil survey program.

3 The NYC Soil Survey Program a) Soil mapping & survey-related studies/special projects b) Onsite Investigations c) Soils training, workshops, lectures, conferences; outreach d) Volunteer & internship opportunities

4 NYC Survey Methods: Differentiating Criteria Native Soils in NDM Naturally deposited materials (by ice, water, wind, etc.) Soils in HA-HTM Human-altered or human-transported mat ls (fill) Miscellaneous Areas Urban land (sealed soils) Also Beaches, Rock outcrop, Dune land, etc. Soil series: similar parent material, particle size & drainage class, sequence of horizons. We also differentiated HA-HTM soils by artifact type & content, and thickness of fill. 1:12,000 field sheet

5 NYC Survey Methods: Inputs Spatial data Topo maps & DEMs Geologic maps Remote imagery Aerial photos Stereoscope & aerial photography Field observations

6 Geologic maps USGS NYC Folio; Merrill et al., 1902 Guide to parent material, substratum type USGS national Geologic Map Dataset (PDF, GeoTiff, JPG, KMZ)
