The soil water retention curve (SWRC) is usually measured by the axis translation technique
(ATT), assuming a specimen thickness of a few centimetres. Usually, this assumption is …

The performance of a handheld Vector Network Analyzer (VNA), the nanoVNA, a low-cost,
open-source instrument, was evaluated. The instrument measures the complex permittivity …

Although many unsaturated soil experiments have successfully delivered positive outcomes,
most studies just concisely illustrated sensor techniques, because their main objectives …

This is the first of two articles that present experimental spectra of six soil samples with
varying clay contents ranging from 0% to 55% and organic carbon levels ranging from 0% to …

The strength of unsaturated soil is defined by the soil water retention behavior and soil
suction acting inside the soil matrix. In order to obtain the suction and moisture profile in the …

Fracture networks are omnipresent in unconventional energy reservoirs. The inversion of
fractures is of vital importance to oil and gas exploration and production. Most of the existing …

A new integrated experimental and theoretical framework to simultaneously measure
mechanical, hydraulic and high frequency dielectric properties of soil during shrinkage was …

The removal of dissolved volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from low-permeability lenses
is important to limit back diffusion at sites impacted by dense non-aqueous phase liquids …

In oil and gas exploration, formation water (or hydrocarbon) content estimation is essential
for reservoir evaluation, development, and production. Archie's law, which associates the …

This article is the second in a series evaluating the effect of dielectric relaxation processes
on the relatively effective complex dielectric permittivity (RCP) of soils. Part II is based on the …
