About
Emily Trill is a leading researcher in environmental hydrology, specializing in soil moisture dynamics and cosmic-ray neutron sensing. Her work centers on advancing non-invasive techniques for measuring soil water content at field scales, with a particular focus on the footprint and spatial resolution of cosmic-ray neutron probes (CRNPs). Trill’s most cited study, “Using Additional Moderator to Control the Footprint of a COSMOS Rover for Soil Moisture Measurement” (2021, 32 citations), introduces an innovative method to reduce the large sensing area of CRNPs by employing high-density polyethylene (HDPE) moderators. This breakthrough allows researchers to tailor measurements to smaller, more targeted zones, improving accuracy in heterogeneous landscapes. Her contributions are vital for precision agriculture, hydrological modeling, and climate studies, where reliable soil moisture data is critical. With growing citation impact, Trill’s work is shaping the next generation of soil sensing technology, offering practical solutions for environmental monitoring. Her achievements underscore a commitment to bridging theoretical physics and field application, making her a key figure in sustainable water resource management.
