Caltech researchers have developed a new method to measure soil moisture in the shallow subterranean region between the surface and underground aquifers. This region, called the vadose zone, is ...

A group of researchers from the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) has unveiled a pioneering method to measure soil moisture in the vadose zone-the shallow region between the earth's surface ...

It may not be the most glamorous topic, but soil moisture is essential for sustaining human life. It’s what allows us to grow crops, and without it, we wouldn’t have the grasslands that feed cattle ...

Researchers from North Carolina State University have developed a wireless system that uses radio transmitters and receivers to estimate soil moisture in agricultural fields at multiple depths in real ...

The National Integrated Drought Information System and the National Weather Service hosted the first in a two-part series of webinars on soil moisture data and applications. The first was held Feb. 22 ...

Researchers use satellites to measure soil moisture around certain crops to solve a long-standing mystery about how water impacts agricultural production. The researchers found that models using soil ...

Using state of the art techniques, researchers use vibrations from traffic to measure underground soil moisture. Caltech researchers have developed a new method to measure soil moisture in the shallow ...
