Speaker
Description
Through this Interpore 2022 presentation we like to acknowledge the exceptional scientific and professional contributions by Sjoerd van der Zee during his nearly 40-year career at Wageningen University. His contributions covered multiple topics in soil hydrology, geochemistry, contaminant transport, ecohydrology, water reuse, soil salinity, and stochastic modeling at a range of spatial and temporal scales. We present several examples consistent with his long-time work. One set of examples concerns the formulation and testing of alternative descriptions of the unsaturated soil hydraulic properties in attempts to cover the water retention (Pc-S) and unsaturated hydraulic conductivity (relative permeability) relationships over the entire pressure head range. A second example deals with the water content dependency of the solute dispersivity in both classical equilibrium and nonequilibrium contaminant transport models. Detailed laboratory tracer experiments showed a clear non-monotonic relationship between the dispersivity and soil water saturation, with the extent of non-monotonicity depending upon soil texture.
