Watershed dynamics in southwest Florida
Robin Rousu, Class of 2000

I did a Keck Consortium project in
Southwest Florida comparing the Henderson Creek and Blackwater River
to see if the varying degree of human activities within their watersheds
affect their estuaries. I measured physical parameters and took water
samples along each estuary at different tide levels. In analyzing
the data, I will be mainly considering the primary productivity of
the two estuaries and how it relates to land use and other factors.
