Soil moisture data analysis is often straightforward, but it can leave you scratching your head with more questions than answers. There’s no substitute for a little experience when looking at surprising soil moisture behavior. METER soil scientist, Dr. Colin Campbell has spent nearly 20 years looking at problematic and surprising soil moisture data. In this 30-minute webinar, followed by a 15-minute Q&A, he discusses what to expect in different soil, environmental, and site situations and how to interpret that data effectively.
Join Dr. Colin Campbell as he discusses:
- Telltale sensor behavior in different soil types (coarse vs. fine, clay vs. sand)
- Possible causes of smaller than expected changes in water content
- Factors that may cause unexpected jumps and drops in the data
- What happens to dielectric sensors when soil freezes and other odd phenomena
- Surprising situations and how to interpret them
- Undiagnosed problems that affect plant-available water or water movement
- Why sensors in the same field or same profile don’t agree
- Problems you might see in surface installations
Presenter:
Dr. Colin Campbell has been a research scientist at METER for 20 years following his Ph.D. at Texas A&M University in Soil Physics. He is currently serving as President of METER Group. He is also adjunct faculty with the Dept. of Crop and Soil Sciences at Washington State University where he co-teaches Environmental Biophysics, a class he took over from his father, Gaylon, nearly 20 years ago. Dr. Campbell’s early research focused on field-scale measurements of CO2 and water vapor flux but has shifted toward moisture and heat flow instrumentation for the soil-plant-atmosphere continuum.
