Soil hydrology   December 09, 2005 We had an interview candidate in today and she gave a talk about soil hydrology. It was fine. However, I must admit I didn't get all of the math. She mentioned that one could use a neutron probe to measure the moisture content of a soil sample. I've no idea what one is, but it sounds pretty damn cool. The box on the bottom, zapping the mound and verifying that it is, indeed, mud is a Neutron Probe 5000. I added a few quick touches of color, since I figured the mud pile should at least look muddy. It's been a while since I've put a drawing up here. But since the server's been mostly out of commission since hurricane Katrina, there's not much I can do.

I tend to doodle. Over the years, I've accumulated lots of random sketches of things, sometimes people, sometimes things, and sometimes just abstract lines. The basic idea on these pages is for me to slowly scan in highlights from my collection of random quick doodles. I also am providing a place where I can explain what it is or what motivated it or perhaps some reason why I'm not to blame. With the sketches of people, their name may be hand-written, or there might be a talk title provided, but I will tend to avoid providing full names. I don't mind if people know who they are, I just don't want them coming up on search engine hits, since that might be a bit rude.

Note that the images are PNGs with transparency. Mozilla and Firefox properly render them. Safari too, I think. Internet Exporer doesn't. I don't care.
