New multiscale SPH model, ESSOAr preprint available
Yet another preprint is available now on ESSOAr. The original manuscript has been submitted to Water Resources Research and can be found here doi.org/10.1002/essoar.10504363.1. Capturing complex infiltration dynamics in porous-fractured media remains a difficult challenge for any numerical method. While established Richards-based approaches are valid [...]
Congratulations Elena! Поздравляю Елена!
While Elena already defended her Ph.D. thesis at beginning of this year, the Corona pandemic unfortunately prevented us from having the traditional award ceremony and most importantly the infamous kiss of the Göttingen "Gänseliesel" until now. This lovely young metallic lady has been the [...]
New preprint on ESSOAr
We submitted a new preprint on a detailed process analysis of infiltration through fractured systems. The manuscript is currently under revision at Water Resources Research and can be found online at ESSOAr here doi.org/10.1002/essoar.10504345.1. Infiltration and recharge dynamics in porous-fractured systems remain one of [...]
Virtual EGU 2020
Due to the current situation this years EGU was held as a virtual conference. After some rearrangements and session merging between the SSS and HS groups we managed to convene a session on preferential flow dynamics in soils and fractured-porous media: Preferential flow and [...]
EGU 2020 session – Call for papers
We would like to invite authors to submit abstracts to our sessions in the Hydrological Sciences as well as the Soil Sciences at EGU 2020: "HS8.3.13: Preferential flows in fractured porous media, soils and across rock–soil interfaces (co-organized)" "SSS6.6: Key physical factors and processes [...]
IAH conference 2019 in Malaga
Just returned from the IAH conference in Malaga, Spain. The conference has been a great success with lots of great talks, fruitful discussions and an excellent field trip to the local karst systems close to Malaga. Lysander Bresinsky presented the latest developments of a [...]
New paper in the Journal of Hydrology
Neural networks provide efficient workflows to extract hidden information from highly complex datasets and cast them into meaningful abstracted patterns. An example of a hydrochemical facies analysis has now been accepted in the special section Cumulative impacts of mining developments on water resources: theory, [...]
Another paper in the Vadose Zone Journal
We are happy to have another paper accepted in the special section Nonuniform Flow across Vadose Zone Scales of the Vadose Zone Journal. The accepted paper can be found here: "First Look paper" (doi: 10.2136/vzj2018.08.0159) Unsaturated flows in fractures exhibit a variety of complex [...]
