Moisture Dynamics in Urban Soils with High Resolution Geoelectrics

B001 MOISTURE DYNAMICS IN URBAN SOILS WITH HIGH RESOLUTION GEOELECTRICS Introduction 1 Urban soils are subject to strong variations of environmental conditions like in water flow solute transport or heat budget. The research project INTERURBAN has been formed to investigate the dynamics of water and solutes at urban locations with particular attention to the spatial heterogeneity the organic soil substance and soil-biological transformation processes in the unsaturated zone. The objectives of INTERURBAN define also the tasks for geophysics: The development of a noninvasive conception to map water distribution water dynamics and important physical parameters on small scales. Approaches to adopt
