Over the last 15 years significant advancements in induced polarization (IP) research have
taken place, particularly with respect to spectral IP (SIP), concerning the understanding of …

Understanding the processes that control mass and energy exchanges between soil, plants
and the atmosphere plays a critical role for understanding the root zone system, but it is also …

Water movement between soil and the atmosphere is restricted by hardscapes in the urban
environment. Some green infrastructure is intended to increase infiltration and storage of …

A better understanding of root–soil interactions and associated processes is essential in
achieving progress in crop breeding and management, prompting the need for high …

Clay material characterization is of importance for many geo‐engineering and
environmental applications, and geo‐electrical methods are often used to detect them in the …

The investigation of plant roots is inherently difficult and often neglected. Being out of sight,
roots are often out of mind. Nevertheless, roots play a key role in the exchange of mass and …

Fluvial levees are assets of major importance for protecting human lives and activities. To
prevent the risk of failures and to assess their stability, survey campaigns involving …

Background To face climate change and subsequent rainfall instabilities, crop breeding
strategies now include root traits phenoty**. Rapid estimation of root traits in controlled …

Field and laboratory spectral induced polarization (SIP) measurements are integrated to
characterize the hydrogeological conditions at the Schillerslage test site in Germany. The …

Source rocks for oil and gas are often associated with shales that are rich in pyrite and
kerogen. Induced polarization is a suitable tool to characterize these formations. We develop …
