I've been digging for answers to Dr. Woodall's questions about our fun lake in Central Park (how big it is, how deep, is it man-made?) I do know they are man-made and it's 'rumored' that they are old shale pits that were originally dug for the shale to distribute on dirt roads in the 1960's. All the links I went to just describe the parks and not really the depth of the waters. An interesting side note: they are thinking of setting up an environmental learning area at lake 2.

| This is one of the groovy tunnels they dug to connect the lakes; all 4 lakes are connected now and you can kayak/canoe back and forth between them without land interruption. |
I was able to read more on sampling methods: there are sampling methods literally called clean hands (ch)/dirty hands(dh) and grab sampling. The sampling methods are very precise and ch/dh takes 2 people whereas the grab method requires that you're not afraid of alligators because you will be wading!!

ReplyDeleteT. Singleton, UR: Amanda it looks like some developers were pretty creative when it came to creating real estate on these former shale pits.
ReplyDeleteYes they were Todd. This neighborhood has been here at least 20+ years.
DeleteAmanda--nice pics. Looks like a real pretty area. A couple of things--I'm not sure what the inserted links are all about. Also--please remind the reader why you are writing about this/what this has to do with your project. This helps new readers connect the dots. e.g., If you remember, I am researching......here are some pictures of my area of study....
ReplyDeleteThanks for the reminder.
