SENV3303A-L17
Environmental Pollution
We will work in the field and the lab exploring the sources, transport, fate, and remediation of specific environmental pollutants. Our specific focus will be on metal pollution, including analysis of Lake Champlain sediments collected from Middlebury’s research vessel, the RV Folger, and of water and soil samples collected during EPA-guided explorations of the Superfund Elizabeth Mine and Ely Mine sites. Each student will pose a research question; conduct an in-depth investigation of their study site in light of that question; and weave environmental justice, economics, and politics into their scientific findings.
