Glacial Landsystems

Groundwater Inventory and Mapping Project, a cooperative effort between the Water Bureau - Michigan Department of Environmental Quality, USGS - Michigan Water Science Center and Michigan State University - Institute of Water Research, RS&GIS and Biosystems and Agricultural Engineering. This project was mandated by P.A. 148 (Michigan Acts of 2003). Major funding was provided by MDEQ, supplemented with additional funds from the USGS Cooperative Water Program. Michigan State University: Remote Sensing & GIS Research and Outreach Services - Department of Geography, David P. Lusch, Ph.D. Using GIS overlay techniques, surface formations extracted from the Quaternary geology map were combined with soil texture groups that had been reclassified from the STATSGO data, based on the Michigan Soil Management Group protocol. The concatenated surface formations and generalized soil texture categories were grouped into glacial landsystems.地下水清单与制图项目是由密歇根州环境质量局水务局（Water Bureau - Michigan Department of Environmental Quality）、美国地质调查局（United States Geological Survey, USGS）密歇根水科学中心，以及密歇根州立大学水研究所、遥感与地理信息系统（Remote Sensing & GIS, RS&GIS）与生物系统与农业工程系合作开展的科研项目。本项目依据2003年密歇根州法案第148号（P.A. 148 (Michigan Acts of 2003)）授权实施，主要资助方为密歇根州环境质量局（Michigan Department of Environmental Quality, MDEQ），并由美国地质调查局合作水项目（USGS Cooperative Water Program）提供额外资金支持。密歇根州立大学地理系遥感与GIS研究与推广服务中心的David P. Lusch博士负责本次研究工作。本次研究采用GIS叠加分析技术，将从第四纪地质图中提取的地表地层，与基于密歇根土壤管理组规程（Michigan Soil Management Group protocol）从STATSGO数据集中重新分类得到的土壤质地组进行融合拼接。最终将整合后的地表地层与概化后的土壤质地类别划分为冰川地貌系统（glacial landsystems）。
