Projects
Currently I have 2 projects that I'm working on. The first which is my main project about eutrophication and what I'm mainly doing for this is identifying the different species of algae that grows in Rio Salado while also altering the amount of phosphorus and nitrogen. Last semester I determined that phosphorus was the most limiting nutrient. One of the problems I had when I first started this project was being able to identify the algae but over time it became easier even though I'm not the best or close to that. My second project is about pea plants and determining what are the best conditions for it to germinate and currently that is at a stand still because there is no open incubator. Changing the temperature and how much light the plant gets affects the germination rate. I guess you can say I'm somewhat busy for a good while. :)

Hello Gilberto,
ReplyDeleteI am Humberto,
I’m pretty sure that you are doing so well in your projects. Unfortunately I don’t know much about Eutrophication, and any of that stuff. But well, if I ever take a class regarding to that subject I am convinced that you are one those guys that definitely could help me with the material. So your research is quite interesting and I am sure that you will get magnificent results. I hope that you do well on them which I am pretty sure that you will do.
Wow Gilbert, it looks like you are off to a great start with two projects. I find your Rio Salado algae project very important to Arizona's most critical resource.... fresh water! Maybe you can find a way to fertilize your pea plants with algae- either that or the algae will kill them.
