In order to take better care of our agricultural soils, we need to be able to monitor them. Earth observation could be a piece in the puzzle that is soil monitoring. 

Therefore, in my research I investigate how we can use satellite observations to learn about the organic carbon content in soils.
I will explain why this could work and why that would be valuable. I will present some preliminary results using Sentinel-2 data for mapping soil organic carbon in the Walloon region.
This was done by making use of an extensive database of soil measurements, deriving a bare soil composite image and applying a quantile random forest model to this data.
