This course is designed for undergraduate students who are interested in basic principles of soil physics and soil hydrology. The goal is to provide student with a deep understanding of the theoretical and practical basis of physical properties and processes in soil. Topics covered include:
Students will receive hands-on training in measuring soil physical and hydraulic properties and processes in laboratory and field settings, work with state-of-the-art sensors and data acquisition systems, computer models, process and interpret data using relevant software, and writing scientific reports. Students will obtain skills applicable to soil science, water science, agronomy, hydrology, ecology, environmental science, and other related disciplines.
