Head of the Soil-GIS Laboratory of the Institute of Soil Science and Agrochemistry, corresponding member of ANAS Amin Ismayilov, a senior researcher, PhD in Agrarian Sciences Fikret Feyziyev and a leading researcher Sultan Huseynova jointly participated as an expert in the online webinar organized on June 25 - 26, 2020.

The webinar, held as part of the Asian Land Atlas program, discussed the correlation of national land classifications to the International Land Classification (WRB). A modern digital land map of Azerbaijan has also been submitted for approbation.
