A Day in the Life Of: PhD students collecting data for creating a soil-plant digital twin

Fieldwork. No matter how well-prepared you come and how well-defined your step-by-step procedures are, there will always be some challenges. In this ‘Day in the life of’ we follow three PhD students in their pursuit to collect data for the creation of a soil-plant digital twin.

What is a soil-plant digital twin? How do they cope with the wild circumstances thrown up by the wet weather? What parameters are they collecting data on? And how do they ensure consistent data collection?

Want to know more about the soil-plant digital twin, and the parameters used in the model? Check out the video with Dr. Yijian Zeng.
