About This Opportunity
University of Southampton is offering a PhD to develop mathematical models linking soil mechanics, water flow, plant effects and heterogeneous wetting and drying.
The research will build new poromechanical models for real soils with mixed grain sizes and mineralogy. It focuses on coupled soil mechanics and water flow, plant–soil interactions and spatially or temporally heterogeneous moisture cycles.
