Assignment Directions
Choose any landcover in America from the website (Dont use the same I attached)
Part 1 (4 pts): write a brief description of your sitegeneralize landcover / land use information from https://enviroatlas.epa.gov/enviroatlas/interactivemap/
characterize the site briefly – at least 2 metrics (eg, population density or economic makeup)source: https://data.census.gov/
source 2: https://enviroatlas.epa.gov/enviroatlas/interactivemap/
Part 2 (3 pts): identify trends in data for the following variables and make a graph for one or more: pH, NO3, SO2/SO4, NH4
find the data tab for your site
(eg, for ntn-AB35 the link is as follows https://nadp.slh.wisc.edu/sites/ntn-AB35/),
download weekly OR monthly data and open it in excel
Dr Schmidt will go through tutorial of making a graph on 3/14 save Excel file for graph to be uploaded by 3/19
.
Part 3 (3 pts) Add graph from Excel OR trend plot from NADP website for at least one variable. Make sure:X axis is labelled
Y axis is labelled
No chart title is provided
.
Part 4 (5 pts) 4: Answer: (a) when did pH, NO3, and/or SO2 (or SO4) hit their peak (focus on the variable you looked at)?
(b) what has the trend looked like since?
(c) what about NH4 (when did it hit it’s peak if any; what has the trend looked like?) (d) Propose at least one reason for any of these trends based on your info in part 1.
EC for post: Research the main impacts of acid rain in this general area particularly at the time it peaked.
Find regional information online about how the locality and/or state has been dealing with acid rain, even if as instigated through the clean air act– eg, utility incentives or renewable energy infrastructure
If you have negative numbers in your data that is affecting your graph, you can simply erase the number (when you have the cell selected, press the “delete” button on your keyboard). However, if you are creating a line graph where each point is connected, this will break up your connected lines. You can deal with this by calculating the midpoint of the two adjacent points, or just change your graph to a scatterplot without the connections.
