課程概述 |
The course is designed for undergraduate and graduate students interested in learning basic soil physics and its applications to environment quality and sustainable use of natural resources. The course provides the theoretical and practical basis for understanding and quantifying physical and hydrological properties of soils. We focus on hydro-physical processes taking place near the Earth's surface emphasizing mass and energy exchange, and transport processes in saturated and unsaturated soils at multiple scales. The coupling with the atmosphere and the role of plants in the hydrological cycle will be studied. We will review modern measurement methods and analytical tools for hydrological data collection and interpretation.
Topics:
1. Soil Water Content and its Measurement from point, field, catchment to global scale
2. Soil Water Retention and Potential (Hydrostatics)
3. Water Flow in Unsaturated Soil: Hydrodynamics
4. Solute Transport in Soils and Salinity
5. Soil Temperature and Heat Flow from point, field, catchment to global scale
6. Energy Balance and Land Atmosphere Interactions from point, field, catchment to global scale
7. Soil Gaseous Phase and Gas Transport
We will have some hands-on exercises (probably in the campus) to gain experiences of using a variety of tools and methods for hydrological data collection and interpretation.

Learning Outcomes:
After completing this course, students should demonstrate the ability to:
1. Have a good command of the vocabulary (nomenclature) used in the literature to describe soil physics.
2. Understanding of the fundamental soil physical properties and processes.
3. Gain practical experience with measurement and analysis of soil physical processes.
4. Be familiar with analysis methods and tools applicable to solving practical problems related to agricultural, hydrological, and environmental problems.
5. Construct models and make prediction of flow and transport from 1 to 3 dimensions, for both steady-state and transient problems.
6. Develop the ability to communicate and collaborate within interdisciplinary teams.

課程要求 |
Modeling (or using field measurements from publicly available database) Project:
Each student will propose a soil physics modeling project suited to their research interests. The project must answer a specific, well-defined research question and must focus primarily on modeling water, solute, heat, or gas movement in soil. Plant or microbial processes may be included in the modeling project depending on the topic. Students may use an established soil physics model such as “Hydrus” or may develop a model of their own using Matlab, python, or other programming language. Modeling can be in 1-, 2-, or 3-D; can be for any relevant spatial scale; and can be transient or steady-state. The project must be described in a one-page proposal, a research paper (maximum 5 single-spaced pages with tables and figures embedded, not including reference list) and a 15 minutes oral presentation. Projects will be evaluated competitively, with the top project receiving 150 points and the other projects scored relative to the top project.

參考書目 |
The emphasis of the course is placed on the hands-on experiments and projects due to the time-consuming nature of these assignments. The final grades will be given based on your homework, labs, and term project (or exams). |
