The relation between soil water retention and pressure head allows evaluating the distribution of pore sizes of a soil. This distribution, together with knowledge of the pore space tortuosity, allows the prediction of soil hydraulic conductivity as a function of water content or pressure head. Models like those developed by Childs and Collis-George, Burdine and Mualem are based on this pr…
With current environmental concerns and a need to understand the processes that govern the water and solutes movement in soils, studies are needed to increase the efficiency of inputs used in agriculture, and to reduce the impact of solute transport on groundwater. Therefore, this project aims to characterize the variances of nitrate transport parameters, by developing Breakthrough Curve…
Microtomography has been used in soil physics for characterization and allows non-destructive analysis with high-resolution, yielding a three-dimensional representation of pore space and fluid distribution. It also allows quantitative characterization of pore space, including pore size distribution, shape, connectivity, tortuosity and orientation. This research project aims to train the p…
