Today I had a great group of undergraduates in the Microplastics lab learning how to process sand. They all helped me organize and catalog the 100 plus samples we have gathered from all over the globe! A few of them are thinking about continuing the project into their senior capstone and investigating the abundance of plastics across our global sandy beach ecosystem.
I have been working on extracting data for Water Canyon watershed for the American Association of Geographers conference held in San Francisco this year. I have also finished a rough graph. Showing the change in veg. class from 1993-2015.
Life in California is fast and hilly! I definitely appreciate the mountains and regulations we have here in California, but I think us Californians could learn a thing or two from the South. For one the culture is alive there, everyone is living it and it is all different in each person, we should embrace our individual cultures and identities, but respect and learn from the cultures of others.
New Orleans is a beautiful place that we should preserve as long as it makes sense to. But I learned how important flexibility in resource management needs to be, the environment is not steady and unchanging so we can’t be either.
Thanks for the good time NOLA, I’ll be back!
