Slide show involving UMaine student research.

1. Eutrophication
David Guildford, Aubrie Howard, Cameron Paquette

2. In the next slide is a chart of four plots of water
quality parameters taken during a study of Lake
Morey in Vermont between 1975 and 2000. These
measurements are from before and after aluminum
sulfate (alum) treatment, which was designed to
sink phosphorus from the water into the
sediment, thereby reducing algal blooms. Based on
these figures, the overall goal of reducing
phosphorus and consequently reducing algae was
reached after alum treatment.

3. Smeltzer et al. (1999)

4. A poster of diatoms, a
major group of algae

5. Brianna Smith, a senior

student, is holding a
plankton net and
secchi disk, which are
tools to test for water
quality.
