Neutrons propelled to Earth by cosmic rays from space are helping scientists in more than 25 countries to measure water in soil and help farmers save water and adapt to climate change. With a cosmic ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Scientists have found a clever way to use traditional GPS satellite signals to measure snow depth as well as soil and vegetation moisture, a technique expected to benefit meteorologists, water ...

A new study by the University of Göttingen in collaboration with the Czech Mendel University shows that previous methods of moisture measurement are inadequate. Satellite data can help to better ...

NASA is set to launch a new satellite with the capacity to measure soil moisture on a global scale. Once operational, data from the Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) satellite could be used to ...

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 ...
