Dear colleagues,
we are pleased to invite your contribution to the session*"High
resolution visualization techniques - from experimental setups to data
compression and functional evaluation"* (SSS11.4/BG1.22;
https://meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU2019/session/30804) at the
upcoming EGU 7-12 April 2019, in Vienna.
Soils comprise a highly complex media combining chemical, physical and
biological processes. There is an urgent need for quantitative methods
to elucidate, model, predict and then communicate information about soil
system functionality. Soil systems are a vital natural resource and are
characteristically complex. They vary at multiple scales in space and
time as a result of the combined effects of many different factors which
arise from the interaction of biologic, geological, hydrological and
anthropogenic processes. We especially encourage contributions that
combine imaging and/or detection of small soil quantities which can
serve as input for numerical simulations or are already used to feed
process-orientated models.
The session will provide the platform for scientist from various
disciplines including hydrology, soil science and biogeoscience to
discuss conceptual and technical challenges related to:
1) Experimental designs compatible for modeling
2) Implementing real data in existing process-orientated models
3) New imaging techniques to study soil functions quantitatively
Let’s come to together and share results, views and concepts for imaging
in soil science.
