Office Hours 14: Hydrology

Hydraulic conductivity is easier than ever to measure thanks to tools like the SATURO and KSAT. But even with more precise and less complicated methods, each research question comes with its own specific considerations.

Join research scientists Leo Rivera and Chris Chambers as they discuss what you need to keep in mind when measuring hydraulic conductivity, including:

  • The depth range over which a device like the SATURO integrates measurements of hydraulic conductivity
  • Calculating field saturated hydraulic conductivity with SATURO measurements
  • How do cracking soils and different soil types impact hydraulic conductivity measurements
  • The impact of soil type when measuring field saturated hydraulic conductivity
  • How to account for climate change impact on the models to ensure efficiency in research
  • And more
