Comparison of the ground penetrating radar characterization of winter processes with the results of hydrological simulations
(University of Waterloo, 2014-11-26)Ground penetrating radar (GPR) is a useful tool to characterize and investigate a variety of cold region processes, including but not limited to permafrost development and glacial morphology. Despite a comprehensive coverage, ... -
Macropore flow and transport dynamics in partially saturated low permeability soils
(University of Waterloo, 2007-12-11)Near-surface sediments play an important role in governing the movement of water and contaminants from the land surface through the vadose zone to groundwater. Generally, low permeability surficial soils restrict water ... -
Monitoring Shallow Vadose Zone Moisture Dynamics using Electrical Resistivity Tomography and Electromagnetic Induction
(University of Waterloo, 2015-06-15)This hydrogeophysical study examines the capacity of the surface electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) and electromagnetic induction (EMI) methods to monitor soil moisture dynamics in the shallow vadose zone over the ...
