Vadose Zone UP GWD Talk 04 February 2021

On Thursday, 04 February 2021 the University of Pretoria shared its latest doctoral research with GWD members. The UP Department of Geology has for the past decade focused on how the soil and rock between land surface and the phreatic or saturated zone behave with respect to highly variable moisture contents.They aim to contribute to knowledge on variably saturated flow through soil, rock defects, karst, and the interfaces between these media. This Talk on unsaturated hydraulics and the role of the vadose or unsaturated zone in engineering geology and hydrogeology was presented by past and current UP doctoral students: Brendon Jones, Mampho Maoyi, Duan Swart
