The SLM chair group is the result of merging two existing chair groups as of May 2012; the chair groups LDD (Land Degradation and Development) and SEG (Soil Physics, Ecohydrology and Groundwater Management). More specific information concerning research and teaching activities can be found on www.ldd.wur.nl and www.seg.wur.nl. A new combined chair group website will be online soon.
The group Soil Physics, Ecohydrology, and Groundwater Management, has as its central study object the water-unsaturated zone. This zone is considered with regard to the physical processes involved with the exchange of water, energy, gasses, and solutes (chemicals) with other environmental compartments such as the atmosphere, crops and natural vegetation, and groundwater. These exchanges are studied at different spatial scales, ranging from soil core, via field and geographical region up to river basin level.
