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.
