Temperature and soil moisture are two of the most important parameters that affect a wide variety of ecological, geochemical, and hydrological processes in the shallow subsurface. By understanding and exploiting the coupled physics of heat transport and water content, temperature can be used as a proxy for soil moisture measurement in variably saturated conditions. This dissertation develops and refines novel temperature-based hydrogeophysical methods while expanding the applicability of heat-tracing to unsaturated conditions. To this end, a comprehensive review of existing research into heat-tracing in the vadose zone is presented. Thermo-hydraulic physics of vadose zone porous media, field-based and numerical methods, thermal regime studi...
