New Software - SURFER 19.1.189

I have purchased a single - license education surfer for my class in UKM.  Surfer is a contouring and 3D surface mapping software program that runs under Microsoft Windows. The Surfer software quickly and easily converts your data into outstanding contour, surface, wireframe, vector, image, shaded relief, and post maps.

Just downloaded and purchased one single license of Surfer Software (20/09/2020)

 

Surfer is capable to plot 3-D surface elevation and topography 

Contaminant transport modeling (animation) using Modflow Flex 6.1

This animation shows chloride movements in sandy aquifer after 20 years.  It moves in a distance of 140 m from its source (i.e. leachate treatment pond).  

Groundwater Modeling Using Modflow Flex

Permodelan aliran air bawah tanah menggunakan perisian Modflow Flex (2D plan view & 3D view). Model output ini menunjukkan data flow velocity, hydraulic head dan particles. Ada 5 telaga pemantauan yang digunakan untuk kalibrasi model ini (tanda segiempat putih). Sementara Google Map di bawah menunjukkan peta dasar untuk kawasan kajian ini.

Visiting National Museum of Natural History in Washington DC

I had the opportunity to visit National Museum of Natural History in Washington D.C on October 12, 2019.  It was actually part of my trip attending ASTM Workshop in Philadelphia.  I spent a whole day exploring several museums in D.C.  The National Museum of Natural History is a natural history museum administered by the Smithsonian Institution. I shared here some good photos of some specimens showing at this Museum.  Worth a visit if you had the opportunity to come here one day.

ROCKWORKS software

I have purchased a RockWork software to assist me in my work.  RockWorks is a comprehensive software program for creating 2D and 3D maps, logs and cross sections, geological models, and general geology diagrams for the environmental, geotechnical, mining and petroleum industries.

Completed a training on Environmental Site Assessments for Commercial Real Estate

I have completed my training on Environmental Assessment (ESA) for Commercial Real Estate which was held from October 8 - 10, 2019.  The training was organised by ASTM at their head office in Conshohocken, Philadelphia, United States.

Attending MODFLOW FLEX Workshop at Delft, Netherland.

Visual MODFLOW FLEX groundwater modeling software is the industry standard for simulating groundwater flow and contaminant transport.  I have been using the old Visual MODFLOW PRO software since 2004.   The new Visual MODFLOW FLEX was first introduced in December 2016 by Waterloo Hydrogeologic.  This new software has a different interface and so much different to the old version of Visual Modlfow Pro.   Hence, I have decided to learn this software by attending a 3-day workshop hosted and organised by Waterloo Hydrogeologic and VanEssen Instruments in Delft, Holland from September 25-27th, 2019.
