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 ...

FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) -- The newest mission from NASA will soon provide detailed data as it closely monitors the on-going drought. The system is designed to scratch below the earth's surface. NASA's ...

Ground penetrating radar measures the amount of moisture in soil quickly and easily. Researchers' calculations from the data informs agricultural water use and climate models. Ground penetrating radar ...

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 ...

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 ...

NASA scientists are studying the possibility of placing microwave sensors aboard unmanned aircraft and microsatellites as a way to obtain soil-moisture measurements at a bargain price. NASA’s Marshall ...

A University of Colorado Boulder research team says they will be using drones to measure soil moisture at a test irrigation farm in northeast Colorado. Professor Brian Argrow tells the Daily Camera ...

While it's important to keep crops irrigated, you certainly don't want to overwater them – particularly in regions where water is scarce. With that in mind, scientists have now developed a method of ...

It takes only a glance to see drought's signature in the parched stubble and powdery soil. Now it takes only a computer to see drought 30 inches below, where the grasshoppers march. Several Montana ...

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 ...
