The Soil CRC’s Visualising Australasia’s Soils (VAS) project began in 2019 to provide Soil CRC participants with access to data, information and knowledge on Australian and New Zealand soils. It led to the development of a dynamic web-based portal that brings together a large array of public and private soil datasets for use by the Australian agricultural industry.

Now in its final phase (Phase 3), the project aims to transform the VAS portal into an enduring component of an Australian soils knowledge system that is both self-sustaining and inherently useful for research and education.
