Rock Physics of the Critical Zone: Models, Inversion, and Interpretation

Reviews of Geophysics, Volume 64, Issue 2, June 2026.
Abstract Rock physics models link geophysical measurements with subsurface petrophysical properties, such as porosity, mineral composition, and fluid saturation. While originally developed for hydrocarbon exploration, these models are increasingly applied in the near surface for quantitative interpretation of geophysical data.

Evaluation Model of Soil Water Characteristic Curve of Red Clay Based on Dielectric Theory [PDF]

长江科学院院报
[Objective] The soil water characteristic curve (SWCC) can effectively reflect the relationship between soil water suction (matric potential) and water content, yet conventional testing methods pose challenges for the calibration of in situ soil ...

History Matching of Soil Moisture and Evapotranspiration Over Europe Using Iterative Ensemble Smoothers

Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, Volume 18, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Land surface models are crucial components within earth system models, simulating the exchanges of water, energy, carbon, and nitrogen between the land surface, atmosphere, and subsurface. One challenge is the large number of uncertain parameters in these models.

Soil precompression stress assessed from strain‐stress data in linear scale: The need for a physically based approach

Soil Science Society of America Journal, Volume 90, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
Abstract State‐of‐the‐art models for soil compaction express soil strength by the so‐called precompression stress. The idea is to avoid stresses higher than those previously exposed to the soil. However, the quantification of soil precompression stress generally implies a problematic logarithmic transformation of the applied stress.

Determination of the lens water content for several different configurations of elliptical particles in unsaturated soils [PDF]

مجله مدل سازی در مهندسی, 2018
Until now, all of the calculations about determining of water content around the particles in unsaturated soil have done with supposing the spherical shape of particles and most of quantities such as matric suction and interparticle stress due to water ...

A closed‐form equation linking soil moisture and evaporation

Vadose Zone Journal, Volume 25, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
Abstract Estimating evaporation from surface soil moisture data poses a persistent challenge for modeling the hydrological cycle. Deriving a physics‐based solution to convert single‐probe soil moisture data into evaporation estimates has always been challenging. Such an equation would enhance hydrological models and remote sensing methods.

Inverse modeling and in situ soil moisture reveal land‐use impacts on soil hydraulic properties

Vadose Zone Journal, Volume 25, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
Abstract Soil hydraulic properties (SHPs) link soil structure with water dynamics by regulating infiltration, retention, drainage, and root‐zone moisture, and they are strongly shaped by land use and land cover change (LULCC). Field and laboratory methods for estimating SHPs under LULCC are time‐consuming and limited in scalability due to small‐scale ...

Investigation of plant growth and transpiration-induced matric suction under mixed grass-tree conditions [PDF]

, 2016
Although evapotranspiration-induced matric suction for single species has been widely studied, little is known about how mixed-species planting would affect plant growth and induced matric suction.

Assessing the Spatiotemporal Variability in Geotechnical Sediment Properties of Beach Cusps on a Sandy Beach

Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract This study examined the spatiotemporal variability in geotechnical properties of beach cusp sediments on a sandy beach and tested if such variability can be used for cusp monitoring from satellite imagery. Specifically, sediment properties (including moisture content (w), relative density (Dr), sediment strength (QSBC) and friction angle (ϕ ...
