We congratulate our collaborator, Jirka Simunek, for reaching, according to Google Scholar, 50,000 citations and an h-index of 108, milestones only a few scientists in the field of soil science and hydrology reach (although the number of citations is only about half of Rien's - see below).

We are adding two more HYDRUS short courses. One will be on-site in Chile (August 20-22, 2024), and another on-line for the American continent (September 9-10, 2024).

New version HYDRUS 5.04 has been released. This version includes many new options, e.g., a) the Brunswick soil hydraulic property model, b) The GOpt module with three global optimization algorithms (1D), c) physically-based root water uptake models, d) coupled water, vapor, and energy transport in 2D/3D, e) clogging in 2D, etc. Many of these new options are described by Šimůnek et al. (2024).

Jirka Simunek (with Binayak Mohanty and Jan Hopmans) are guest editors of a Special Section of the Vadose Zone Journal organized to honor Rien van Genuchten. This special section targets articles from authors that either collaborated with Dr. van Genuchten or built their research program based on Rien’s many contributions to the fields of soil physics and vadose zone hydrology, and whose manuscripts would thus be a tribute to his work.
