An ET sensor’s footprint depends on turbulence, height, canopy roughness, and nearby surfaces. Each affects what the measurement represents.

Reference ET estimates atmospheric water demand. Actual ET measures real water loss from a local canopy and soil surface.

ATMOS 51 uses the variance Bowen ratio method to provide site-specific actual ET measurements.

Model predictions that did not match field observations led Dr. Wolfgang Durner to a fundamental question: Was soil water movement being described correctly? That “small detour” became the scientific challenge of his career.

Soil arsenic levels alone may not correlate strongly with arsenic concentrations in rice grain.

Mason Stahl explains how direct sampling and machine learning can help researchers study the environmental conditions that influence arsenic uptake.

Can cicadas change how water moves through soil?

Dr. Darren Ficklin’s team found infiltration was nearly 80% higher where cicada burrows were present in forested landscapes, but found no measurable difference in compacted urban soils.
