The Team
The development of Version 1 of the Soil and Lansdcape Grid of Australia was made possible through collaborations and shared knowledge between Australia's state, territory and Commonwealth government soil data agencies, Geoscience Australia and the University of Sydney. Without their input the project would not have been possible.

- Project Director - Mike Grundy (CSIRO)
- Project Leaders - Raphael Viscarra Rossel and Ross Searle (CSIRO)
- Soil and Landscape Grid of Australia methods and digital soil maps-
- National and Australia-wide spatial and statistical modelling - Raphael Viscarra Rossel (CSIRO)
- Dissagregation methodologies - Nathan Odgers (University of Sydney)
- Western Australian map dissaggregation - Karen Holmes and Ted Griffin (Western Australia Department of Agriculture and Food)
- South Australia map dissaggregation - Craig Liddicoat (South Australia Department of Environment, Water and Natural Resources)
- Tasmania soil maps - Darren Kidd and Mat Webb (Department of Primary Industries, Parks, Water and Environment Tasmania Department of Primary Industries, Parks, Water and Environment)
- Regolith depth modelling - John Wilford (Geoscience Australia), Ross Searle (CSIRO), Mark Thomas (CSIRO)
- National soil site data collation and covariates - Ross Searle and Charlie Chen (CSIRO)
- National soil visible-near infrared and mid infrared spectroscopic libraries - Raphael Viscarra Rossel (CSIRO)
- Depth imputations and statistical methods - David Clifford (CSIRO)
- Landscape attributes - John Gallant (CSIRO)
- Inference systems - Alex McBratney, Budiman Minasny and Jason Morris (University of Sydney)
- Information systems design and development - Ross Searle and Peter Wilson (CSIRO)
- Data access and delivery - Linda Gregory, Dominic Hogan, Brendan Speet, David Jacquier (CSIRO)
- Science direction and GSM coordination - Alex McBratney (University of Sydney)
- Media and communication - Claire Harris (CSIRO)
Important contributions related to the concepts, approaches and understanding of the products came from Daniel Brough and Peter Zund (QLD DSITIA), Nathan Robinson (Victoria DEPI), Jon Gray (NSW OEH) and Jason Hill (NT DLRM).
