Instructors

Dr. Martinus Th. van Genuchten is a soil physicist with the U. S. Salinity Laboratory, USDA, ARS, Riverside, CA. He received a B.S. and M.S. in irrigation and drainage from the Agricultural University of Wageningen, The Netherlands, and a Ph.D. in soil physics from New Mexico State University. He has published widely on variably-saturated flow and contaminant transport processes in the subsurface, analytical and numerical modeling, nonequilibrium transport, preferential flow, characterization and measurement of the unsaturated hydraulic functions, and root-water uptake.

Dr. Jirka Simunek is a research hydrologist with the Department of Soil and Environmental Sciences of the University of California. He received an M.S. in Civil Engineering from the Czech Technical University, Prague, Czech Republic, and a Ph.D. in Water Management from the Czech Academy of Sciences, Prague. His expertise is in numerical modeling of subsurface water flow and solute transport processes, equilibrium and nonequilibrium chemical transport, multicomponent major ion chemistry, field-scale spatial variability, and inverse procedures for estimating the hydraulic properties of unsaturated porous media.
