Describing Soils: Calibration Tool For Teaching Soil Rupture Resistance
Monday, January 5, 2009 - 13:35
in Earth & Climate
A new tool has been developed that will help measure the rupture resistance of soils by calibrating the correct amount of pressure between a thumb and forefinger of students and soil scientists when studying soils in the field. The measurement is important for accurately assessing the quality and makeup of soils.
