Analytical techniques with high sensitivity and high spatial resolution are crucial for
understanding the chemical properties of complex earth materials and environmental …

Application of transient deterministic shallow landslide models over broad regions for
hazard and susceptibility assessments requires information on rainfall, topography and the …

Accurate estimates of soil hydraulic parameters representing wetting and drying paths are
required for predicting hydraulic and mechanical responses in a large number of …

This chapter introduces the reader to the theory and applications of inverse modeling for
parameter estimation of soil hydraulic functions, using various proven experimental …

We present a model to compute the hydraulic conductivity, K, as a function of water content,
θ, directly from the particle‐size distribution (PSD) of a soil. The model is based on the …

A transient water release and imbibitions (TWRI) method for measuring the soil water
retention curve (SWRC) and hydraulic conductivity function (HCF) under drying and wetting …

Landfill methane currently represents the largest global source of greenhouse gas
emissions from the solid waste sector. Emissions are expected to increase due to increasing …

The rate dependence of unsaturated hydraulic characteristics was analyzed using both
steady state and transient flow analysis. One‐step and multistep outflow experiments, as …

Unsaturated hydraulic conductivity is the primary soil parameter required when performing
seepage analyses for unsaturated–saturated soil systems. Unsaturated hydraulic …

Mass transfer from entrapped nonaqueous phase liquids (NAPLs) at subsurface locations of
environmental contamination typically takes place in three‐dimensional groundwater flow …
