My REU research project for the Summer of 2007 was measuring the daily variations of dissolved gaseous mercury (DGM) in the Raquette River and comparing this data to solar radiation measurements. The purpose of the project was develop a correlation between solar radiation and DGM variations. Please take a look at the links to learn more about my project.

This was my first research experience, and I have learned a lot about the research process. I enjoyed developing and carrying out experiments, as well as analyzing the data. I hope to continue research during my last year as an undergraduate at the University at Buffalo.
