Dr Anna Greve, Dr Bryce Kelly and Professor Ian Acworth accepted the award for work developing an electrical conductivity based method to monitor small scale moisture changes in soil.
The device developed as a result of this study will allow non-destructive soil moisture measurement with special resolution in undisturbed soil. Until now, moisture measuring methods have only allowed point measurements.
Accurate monitoring of moisture changes with the help of this type of device will allow irrigation farmers to improve irrigation planning and thus save water.
