Crop circles are patterns created by the flattening of crops such as wheat, barley, rapeseed (also called "canola"), rye, corn, linseed and soy. The term was first used by researcher Colin Andrews to describe simple circles he was researching. Although since 1990 the circles have evolved into complex geometries, the term "circle" has stuck. Various hypotheses have been offered to explain their formation, ranging from the naturalistic to the paranormal. Naturalistic explanations include man-made hoaxes or geological anomalies, while paranormal explanations include formation by UFOs. Many circles are known to be man-made, such as those created by Doug Bower, Dave Chorley, and John Lundberg, and a 2000 study into circle hoaxing concluded that 80 percent of UK circles were totally man-made. Bower and Chorley were awarded an Ig Nobel Prize in 1992 for their crop circle hoaxing.

Dorian Raymer now works for CAMERA at Calit2 in San Diego, and recently won an ig Nobel Prize for this research that was done as a physics undergraduate at UC San Diego. The talk is part of a General Staff Meeting for the UCSD division of Calit2, which will also feature an update by division director Ramesh Rao, and a networking session from 3-3:30pm. Raymer works on the Ocean Observatories Initiative, and made international headlines when he and UCSD physics professor Douglas Smith won an Ig Nobel Prize for Physics. They were cited for "proving mathematically that heaps of string or hair or almost anything else will inevitably tangle themselves up in knots." This isn't the first big publicity for the study, which Raymer conducted as an undergraduate in Smith's lab. The work was featured by the BBC, and was also selected as one of the New York Times' Top Science Stories of 2007. The research was originally published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences last...
