Draft 2: Biodiversity

This topic submitted by Diane Jones ( jonesdr@muohio.edu ) on 1/23/03. [ Rivers Team: Diane Jones-Section: Blaisdell/Wolfe]


My Idea for a project is to look at the biodiversity of the creek in specific reference to species who inhabit the areas immediately surrounding the creek (the riparian zone). A major part of this would be to explore the area and look at the life that surrounds it and how it depends on the water and to think of possible effects loss and/or contamination of that water would or does affect that life. In order to incorporate social systems in this, I would like to look at the ways that humans have affected the river and therefore the riparian zone. Also, using this idea to incorporate creativity and culture, I would like to discuss the pathways that pollution may take in order to get to the river and ways people have affected it (or possibly simply failed to stop it).
