ROV

We have been going to the Lemont Quarries weekly to take data. Take a look at what we are looking at and why!


Our research question:

How does the changing seasonal environment affect the plant and animal composition of the Lemont Quarries?

 

Abstract:

Considering no specific data on the ecosystems of the Lemont quarries exists, the purpose of this project is to determine the effect of the changing seasons on the plant and animal composition of the Lemont Quarries. The two ROVs surveyed the quarries and students collected more information about the surrounding environment.

 

What we're measuring:

pH, Water Temperature, Air Temperature, Cloud Cover, Vegetation Amount, Depth, Precipitation, Fish Survey
