Response to Megan's idea

This topic submitted by Megan Leigh (blaisdml@muohio.edu) on 1/24/03. Additions were last made on Saturday, March 1, 2003. Section: Blaisdell/Wolfe

The first idea begins with an assumption about pollution. What do we know about 4m.c. and pollution? Is it more polluted than at earlier times? How can we about earlier times? When? 10 years ago? 50? i think the idea of looking at invertebrate larvae and/or freshwater clams is a workable project,. The role of these organisms in the food webs is interesting, worthwhile, and links to a variety of other writings. In order to do a comparison of the present with the past one would need a comparable reliable study from some years ago. Is there one in the Science Center archives?

The second idea also depends on the pollution having had a measurable effect. Is there a historical "baseline" study? There are other human "interventions" as well as pollution.

Best wishes on designing an enjoyable study. m.
