Summary: This 3.5 day training class will focus on Direct Push methods for obtaining high-resolution information about the physical properties and parameters of the shallow subsurface, with an emphasis on water-filled porosity and electrical and hydraulic conductivity. The training class will consist of morning classroom sessions followed by three to four hour field sessions in the afternoon. Taught by widely recognized leaders in hydrologic-based applications of Direct Push technology, this training will give participants the information needed to incorporate this technology into their work.

Summary: This course is designed to inform participants about the state-of-the-art instrumentation and measurements that are available for quantifying carbon dynamics in Intensively Managed Landscapes (IMLs) from the soil profile scale to the landscape scale. The key processes that define carbon budget in IMLs will be examined: erosion, litter incorporation into the soil profile, microbial activity/ respiration, and stabilization in aggregates.
