Posted 24 February 2010. Crop Management. Webinar: Measuring Soil Moisture in the Field Source: Decagon Devices Press Release. www.decagon.com Pullman, Washington (February 18, 2010)--On March 25, 2010 at 8 am PDT, Dr. Colin Campbell will give a one hour webinar on methods for measuring soil volumetric water content. Dr. Campbell will discuss the theory and application of measuring soil volumetric water content using methodologies such as gravimetric sampling, neutron probes, dual needle heat pulse sensors, and dielectric methods including TDR and FDR/capacitance sensors. The webinar will bring participants up-to-date on rapidly evolving technology in this area. It will also cover the theory behind the measurements to help participants choose the best option in a given situation.
Dr. Colin S. Campbell has a Ph.D. in Soil Science from Texas A&M University and is vice president of Research and Development at Decagon Devices in Pullman, Washington. He teaches Environmental Biophysics as an adjunct faculty member of the Dept. of Crop and Soil Sciences at Washington State University. Dr. Campbell’s early research focused on field-scale measurements of CO2 and water vapor flux. He is currently working on moisture and heat flow instrumentation for the soil-plant-atmosphere continuum. To learn more go to www.decagon.com/soil_moisture/seminars. Contact: |
