POST 3: A place to visit

I want to go to England, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Italy, French...just a few countries, jejejeje.

I want to know the culture of these countries, for example I want to walk near the Eiffel tower, or get to the Vatican and go to the Sistine Chapel, see the Coliseum in Rome, I think with all these countries I have a lot of tourist places to visit. Also I want to taste the food and beverage from each one, until now I can only taste the food from the restaurant that I visit in Chile, but I think that the taste or flavors will be different if I eat in each country.

If I have to choose one of theme, maybe I will choose New Zealand, one of the reasons is that New Zealand is similar to Chile. Both are in the same hemisphere and share some of same flora (long time ago we were united as one continent, Godwana) and climatic characteristic, so will be nice to know a place similar to my country. The other reason is because they make great advances in subjects related to my career (renewable energies, environmental care or ecological studies) so be there could be a very good experience, in professional terms. I don’t know anything about the food…so could be a risk to me, because I don’t have a strong stomach and I could get sick very easy, but in life we have to take risk to get what we want.

Post 11: About My work

To star I' m trying to apply in an oxygen transport model, this model is kind of special because is a model that estimate the oxygen content on soil. The oxygen is a very important element, the oxygen content is related with soil properties and you can make a balance between the soil water content and the air capacity, this parameter
This parameter can determinate the soil health, because is related to the soil respiration (that is the microbial and plant respiration). If the oxygen on soil is not enough, we will have a reduction of the agriculture production.
There is not easy to estimate the oxygen soil content, because it depends in a lot of soil parameters; like soil water content, soil porosity, bulk density, soil diffusivity an others. Until now I’m very concern because I don’t know so much of soil physics, so I need to learn in the least time possible and I think I need to put a lot of effort to understand all the relations that are in involved….; this work is a very hard challenge… but like I say long time ago, I’m very happy to be here, in this PhD program
