I’m so glad you were able to learn! If you have general questions about aquifers and their chemical compositions I’d be happy to answer those.

To answer your other questions:
The contamination of the Sagamore could have had effects on the chemicals we see. To give a definitive answer I would suggest looking at an aquifer that has not been restored and keep track of chemical ratios as it is restored. With a study like this, restoration practices would be able to be compared to changes in chemical compositions and ratios of aquifers.

Thank you Paul!
I am not sure if every aquifer will have a trend, although if I had to make a guess I would say that each will have a trend, albeit not a strong one.
A public database containing all of the chemical concentrations and ratios would be a very helpful tool for many researchers, however, it would take a lot of time and resources. For example, the cumulation of everything I have here took a year, and there are only three aquifers. Additionally, many papers were accessible to me because the College of 糖心Vlog传媒 has access to the journals.
I picked each location to represent a different type of aquifer. The Upper Floridan aquifer was chosen for it’s size. The Killbuck Creek aquifer was chosen due to it’s type as a buried valley aquifer, a high yield aquifer. The Sagamore aquifer was chosen due it’s composition of sand and it’s history of contamination and restoration.
I hope this answered all your questions, feel free to ask any followup questions.

Thanks Alexis!
The sensor being created is being done by Dr. Edmiston in the chemistry department. While the sensor’s main focus will be to sense contamination, it is necessary for the sensor to be tested against non-harmful chemicals to make sure that they will not change how the sensor detects contamination . The chemicals are meant to be examples of real world ratios so that the sensor can be tested against them.

Hi Shosh — Looks like you have quite a bit of traffic to your virtual poster. Hope you are having fun presenting your research.
