Water quality assessment Chemistry major Ruth Maust and Erika
Babikow, a biology and environmental sustainability major, work
in the field at surface water locations to monitor flow, pH,
conductivity and total dissolved solids. Samples are also
analyzed later in the lab for barium and strontium, pH,
conductivity, and TDS. Their work is part of a collaborative
project between EMU, the Shenandoah Valley Network and the
Friends of the North Fork to collect baseline water quality data
near a proposed Marcellus Shale natural gas drilling site. Read
