Oklahoma State University Soil Physics
This channel features educational videos developed by members of the soil physics research group and students at Oklahoma State University. These videos are designed to explain important (and sometimes challenging) concepts from the discipline of soil physics in a clear, straight-forward way. Many of these videos are related to the free electronic textbook "Rain or Shine: An Introduction to Soil Physical Properties and Processes" by Tyson E. Ochsner, available for download at https://osf.io/z4rbt/.
