Widespread soil contamination threatens living standards and weakens global efforts towards the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Detailed soil mapping is needed to guide effective countermeasures and sustainable remediation operations. Here, we review visible and infrared reflectance spectroscopy (VIRS) based detection methods in combination with machine learning. To date, proximal, airborne and spaceborne carrier devices have been employed for soil contamination detection, allowing large areas to be covered at low cost and with minimal secondary environmental impact. In this way, soil contaminants can be monitored remotely, either directly or through correlation with soil components (e.g. Fe-oxides, soil organic matter, clay minerals). Observed vegetation reflectance spectra has also been proven an effective indicator for mapping soil pollution. Calibration models based on machine learning are used to interpret spectral data and predict soil contamination levels. The algorithms used for this include partial least squares regression, neural networks, and random forest. The processes underlying each of these approaches are outlined in this review. Finally, current challenges and future research directions are explored and discussed.
