Description
Most of the teaching will be based on practical work (laboratory and CT), using measurements of water content and potential in soil columns. These data will be used to characterize hydrodynamic properties and flows in ZNS, based on equations learned in class. The columns will also be used to characterize gas transfer in an unsaturated zone.
Multiphase behavior will only be covered in class
Skills to be acquired:
Understanding the specificities of the unsaturated zone
Managing an experimental program
