Substitute(s) :   Aurore Degre Language :   French language Course contents :   Physical caracteristics of soils Soil and water : hydrostatic Methods of soils moisture measurements Methods of soil water retention potential measurements Water movments in saturated soils Water movments in unsaturated soils infiltration and redistribution evaporation and crop uptake structure dynamic (intro) Course objective :   Fundamental aspects and modelling of soils physic particularly about water movment in unsaturated soils and about water soil crops system. After completing the course the student is expected to -characterise solid phase of soils, -characterise liquid and gaseous phases and their relations -measure soil moisture (use and discuss results) -measure water retention curve and discuss about its agronomical relevance -caracterise water movements in saturated soils -caracterise water movements in unsaturated soils -explain main water soil crops modelling schemes Prerequisites :   General Hydrology Organization :   Lectures : 24h Written notes :   - Syllabus - DANIEL HILLEL : Soil and water, physical principles and processes, 1988 - MUSY : Physique du sol, 1993 Assessment :   Oral examination (100%) Home Search by Faculty Search by teacher Search by course code and title
