  1. Introduction
  2. Regional / Local Geology
  3. Aquifer Hydraulics
  4. DC Resistivity
  5. Azimuthal Resistivity
  6. EM31
  7. EM34

I hope I finish in time :-)

Samples

Filed under: Honours — Chris Parker @ 22:51

I got the results from my water samples in today – they are quite interesting! I just have to do a crash course in TPH analysis now :-)

I have a touch over 2 weeks remaining in honours so it is crunch time. It is getting very stressful. My thesis is on about 65-70 pages atm so it is progressing nicely. I really want to have it sort of finished by wednesday next week – see how I go

Allison and Matt popped into work 2nite which was good. Matt rekons the new nokia n-gage phones are crap – he only says that cause he could not do the game :-)

Anyways, ta ta for now :-)
