Use TSIP mobile app to get sampling design
Outline your area for sampling on the TSIP mobile application. TSIP will upload a sampling design for your area to the app. The TSIP app then becomes your tool and guide for field work and data entry.
Partner with us two ways
Measure with sample kits
Sample your land, manage knowing your carbon stock, and join research to attribute soil carbon stocks to farm management. Run field research and help us link soil carbon outcomes with land management.
Sample your field
Sample soil with a lightweight field tool suited to your soil conditions. Scan soil sample QR codes and record management information in the TSIP app. Using a prepaid shipping label, ship samples to TSIP's laboratory partner.
Receive your local soil carbon analysis
When the lab results are complete, TSIP sends you the data, a summary and analysis, and visualizations of the sampled carbon stocks.
Collecting and combining existing soil carbon data sets
TSIP aggregates publicly available and privately-held soil carbon data to create a national soil carbon inventory across multiple scales – from field to region. We prioritize grower and partner privacy, anonymizing or sharing data only with permission.
Establish regional practice baselines
Regional practice baselines show current regional soil carbon stocks. They make it possible to attribute impact to practice by region and predict change in soil carbon stocks with time.
Publish information for public use
TSIP will publish combined and anonymized soil carbon data. This data will be accessible for further analysis by researchers, organizations, and the public. Sharing results is a critical TSIP output.
We model the data
Modeling accounts for soil type, land management, and land use history. TSIP modeling will produce regional benchmarks and baselines, quantify land management impacts, and project soil carbon change over time. Collecting soil field data at multiple scales is essential for improving modeling.
TSIP Sampling App Launching This Fall
The TSIP sampling mobile app allows anyone to collect soil samples and receive measurements on their lands. Launching in Apple and Google Play stores this fall.
