Environmental Physics Student's experiments

Determine the Hydraulic Conductivity
Groundwater flow can be described by Darcy's law (Environmental Science, Physical Principles and Applications, Sect 7.4).

Determine the Thermal Conductivity of Sand
Heat transfer by means of conductivity (Environmental Science, Physical Principles and Applications , Sect. 4.1) is caused by local temperature differences in a material.

Heat transfer by Radiation and Convection
Heat transfer is always caused by local temperature differences (Environmental Science, Physical Principles and Applications , Sect. 4.1).

Laser Doppler Anemometry
Laser Doppler Anemometry (LDA) is a technology to measure local velocities of very tiny particles in a flow. This technique is based on measuring scattered laser light.

Radon in the Environment
Radioactive Uranium can be found in soil and soil products (Environmental Science, Physical Principles and Applications, Sect. 5.2).

Laser Remote Sensing

Laser spectroscopy (Environmental Science, Physical Principles and Applications, Chapter 9) is a powerful method to investigate fluorescence of the photosynthetic system of green plants.
