Have you ever wanted to create your own maps, or integrate and visualize spatial datasets to examine changes in trends between locations and over time? Follow along with these training tutorials on QGIS, an open source geographic information system (GIS) and learn key concepts, procedures and skills for performing common GIS tasks – such as creating maps, as well as joining, overlaying and visualizing spatial datasets. These tutorials are geared towards new GIS users. We’ll start with foundational concepts, and build towards more advanced topics throughout – demonstrating how with a few relatively easy steps you can get quite a lot out of GIS. You can then extend these skills to datasets of thematic relevance to you in addressing tasks faced in your day-to-day work.

Soil Testing, Inspection, and Certification Market Outlook

The global soil testing, inspection, and certification market size reached USD 6.12 billion in 2024 as per our latest research, with a robust CAGR of 6.7% projected from 2025 to 2033. By the end of the forecast period in 2033, the market is expected to attain a value of USD 11.07 billion. This growth is primarily driven by the increasing emphasis on sustainable agriculture, stringent regulatory requirements for construction, and the rising need for environmental safety and quality assurance across various industries.

One of the major growth factors propelling the soil testing, inspection, and certification market is the heightened awareness regarding soil health and fertility management, especially in the agriculture sector. Farmers and agricultural producers are increasingly adopting advanced soil testing techniques to optimize crop yields, minimize the use of chemical fertilizers, and ensure compliance with food safety standards. The growing demand for organic produce and sustainable farming practices has further fueled the adoption of soil testing services. Additionally, government initiatives and subsidy programs aimed at promoting soil health cards and precision agriculture are creating significant opportunities for market expansion, particularly in emerging economies where agriculture forms a critical part of the GDP.

Another significant driver for the soil testing, inspection, and certification market is the booming construction industry, which relies heavily on soil analysis for the safe and sustainable development of infrastructure projects. Soil inspection and certification are mandatory for assessing load-bearing capacity, contamination levels, and overall suitability of land for construction. With rapid urbanization and the surge in infrastructure investments globally, construction companies are increasingly seeking reliable soil testing and certification services to mitigate risks, comply with regulatory frameworks, and ensure the structural integrity of their projects. The integration of advanced technologies such as remote sensing, GIS, and IoT-based soil sensors is also enhancing the accuracy and efficiency of soil testing processes, thereby supporting market growth.

Environmental concerns and the need to comply with stringent regulatory standards are further accelerating the demand for soil testing, inspection, and certification services. Regulatory bodies and research institutes are playing a pivotal role in enforcing soil quality standards, monitoring contamination, and promoting land restoration initiatives. Soil certification has become essential for various end-users, including government agencies, landscape developers, and environmental consultants, to demonstrate compliance with environmental norms and ensure public safety. The increasing incidence of soil pollution due to industrial activities, improper waste disposal, and excessive agrochemical usage has necessitated regular soil inspection and certification, thereby driving market growth.

From a regional perspective, Asia Pacific is emerging as a dominant market for soil testing, inspection, and certification, supported by rapid agricultural modernization, infrastructure development, and government-led soil health initiatives. North America and Europe continue to maintain significant market shares, driven by advanced regulatory frameworks, technological adoption, and high awareness levels among end-users. Meanwhile, Latin America and the Middle East & Africa are witnessing steady growth, fueled by investments in agriculture and construction, as well as increasing environmental consciousness. Each region presents unique growth opportunities and challenges, influenced by local regulatory environments, economic development, and industry dynamics.

Science gateways are becoming an integral component of modern collaborative research. They find widespread adoption by research groups to share data, code and tools both within a project and with the broader community. Sustainability beyond initial funding is a significant challenge for a science gateway to continue to operate, update and support the communities it serves. MyGeoHub.org is a geospatial science gateway powered by HUBzero. MyGeoHub employs a business model of hosting multiple research projects on a single HUBzero instance to manage the gateway operations more efficiently and sustainably while lowering the cost to individual projects. This model allows projects to share the gateway’s common capabilities and the underlying hardware and other connected computing resources, and continued maintenance of their sites even after the original funding has run out allowing time for acquiring new funding. MyGeoHub has hosted a number of projects, ranging from hydrologic modeling and data sharing, plant phenotyping, global and local sustainable development, climate variability impact on crops, and most recently, modeling of industry processes to improve reuse and recycling of materials. The shared need to manage, visualize and process geospatial data across the projects has motivated the Geospatial Data Building Blocks (GABBs) development funded by NSF DIBBs. GABBs provides a “File Explorer” type user interface for managing geospatial data (no coding is needed), a builder for visualizing and exploring geo-referenced data without coding, a Python map library and other toolkits for building geospatial analysis and computational tools without requiring GIS programming expertise. GABBs can be added to an existing or new HUBzero site, as is the case on MyGeoHub. Teams use MyGeoHub to coordinate project activities, share files and information, publish tools and datasets (with DOI) to provide not only easy access but also improved reuse and reproducibility of data and code as the interactive online tools and workflows can be used without downloading or installing software. Tools on MyGeoHub have also been used in courses, training workshops and summer camps. MyGeoHub is supporting more than 8000 users annually.

Office for National Statistics' national and subnational Census 2021. Highest level of qualificationThis dataset provides Census 2021 estimates that classify usual residents aged 16 years and over in England and Wales by their highest level of qualification. The estimates are as at Census Day, 21 March 2021. Highest level of qualification definition: The highest level of qualification is derived from the question asking people to indicate all qualifications held, or their nearest equivalent. This may include foreign qualifications where they were matched to the closest UK equivalent. The types of qualification included in each level are:Level 1 and entry level qualifications: 1 to 4 GCSEs grade A* to C , Any GCSEs at other grades, O levels or CSEs (any grades), 1 AS level, NVQ level 1, Foundation GNVQ, Basic or Essential SkillsLevel 2 qualifications: 5 or more GCSEs (A* to C or 9 to 4), O levels (passes), CSEs (grade 1), School Certification, 1 A level, 2 to 3 AS levels, VCEs, Intermediate or Higher Diploma, Welsh Baccalaureate Intermediate Diploma, NVQ level 2, Intermediate GNVQ, City and Guilds Craft, BTEC First or General Diploma, RSA DiplomaLevel 3 qualifications: 2 or more A levels or VCEs, 4 or more AS levels, Higher School Certificate, Progression or Advanced Diploma, Welsh Baccalaureate Advance Diploma, NVQ level 3; Advanced GNVQ, City and Guilds Advanced Craft, ONC, OND, BTEC National, RSA Advanced DiplomaLevel 4 qualifications or above: degree (BA, BSc), higher degree (MA, PhD, PGCE), NVQ level 4 to 5, HNC, HND, RSA Higher Diploma, BTEC Higher level, professional qualifications (for example, teaching, nursing, accountancy)Other qualifications: vocational or work-related qualifications, other qualifications achieved in England or Wales, qualifications achieved outside England or Wales (equivalent not stated or unknown)Quality information: There are quality considerations about higher education qualifications, including those at Level 4+, responses from older people and international migrants, and comparability with 2011 Census data.Comparability with 2011: Broadly comparableThe categories for this variable are the same as the ones in the 2011 Census. However, in Census 2021 the question was revised and split up to group together different qualifications. This means that the way people answered the question in Census 2021 cannot be fully compared with the answers from the 2011 Census. For example, some people who hold an older or non-UK qualification when answering the question in Census 2021 may have chosen a higher qualification level than they did in the 2011 Census, although they hold the same qualifications.
