The research continues…

Macroinvertebrate identification is nearing completion and the data is starting to show its nuances. Below is an updated graph of sampling location versus scores of indices of biotic integrity results (still in progress), as well as my newest draft of my poster which I will be presenting at the Sage Undergraduate Research Conference at Cal State […]

Newest graph

Here is the newest data figure I have created featuring the predicted biological index scores for each sampling site. Each scoring system was created to evaluate the health of California freshwater streams by examining the composition of invertebrates per reach, the higher the score, the healthier the aquatic habitat. Please notice that the graph is […]

Progress!

March 26th, 2015 Following the March expeditions, the invertebrate sampling at Santa Rosa Island is complete. Now, the heavy lab work is my main focus; identifying and analyzing being the main goals. One by one, the data from each site is examined to compare temporal, spatial, chemical and environmental factors to see if the health […]
