LABFLUX - Porous media moisture and environmental water fluxes evaluation laboratory

The Lab performs research, tutorial ad dissemination regarding measurements and modeling of water and moisture fluxes in the natural, agricultural and built environments. Main focus is on porous media like soil, snow and wood.

Specifically addressed are the monitoring of : meteorological variables, energy fluxes, soil-plant-atmosphere interactions, water dynamics, and hillslope processes.

LABFLUX also provides formation and tutorial for the students of Ph.D. and Masters Schools.
