At the end of the course, the student will be able to:
- Explain the factors that determine the physical properties of soil
- Master the basic techniques of characterization of soil physical properties
- Explain the impact of soil physical properties on the retention and flow of water, the transfer of gas, heat and dissolved substances, and mechanical properties of soils
- Establish the profiles of total water potential from baseline data
- Establish the basis for modeling the dynamics of soil water in space and time, and applying Darcy's equation to estimate steady water flow
- Associated with a given type of soil, depending on texture and structure, the physical properties that correspond to it, and interpret soil physical data
- Describe the principle of operation, advantages and disadvantages of conventional methods and instruments used for the characterization of soil physical properties
- Extract soil samples in situ and characterize the basic hydraulic properties in the laboratory
- Write a report according to scientific standards and critically and consistently analyze results
- Contribute effectively to collegial data acquisition, analysis and writing of the results and conclusions.
