Harry Woodward (naturalist)
Harry Woodward was a US ranger naturalist who, in 1938–9, first described a mathematical relation between the durations and intervals of eruptions from the Old Faithful Geyser. Intervals between eruptions can range from 45 to 125 minutes, averaging 66.5 minutes in 1939,[1][2] slowly increasing to an average of 90 minutes apart today.[3]
