Change of Topic

I have decided to change my research topic to Livestock Waste Management. I worked for the Kansas Dept of Health and Environment for a year in the livestock waste management inspection area. Because of my experience in the area I think that my presentation and poster would be quite a bit more interesting, at least for me. I hope to impart some of my knowledge on the class and the ways that geology and biology play into livestock waste management.

ECM Description


ECM Description
Making the image on Illustrator was actually fairly easy. Most of my time was spent simply entering the data. I had never used Illustrator before and I find it quite useful after having worked on this project.

Reaserch Topic

I am thinking of changing my research topic area to Animal Waste and its possible pollution. I have worked in this area before and know a significant amount about it already. I also have been doing a lot of research on animal waste and the new regulatory requirements being put into place.

Columnar Jointing



The original image of Columnar Jointing was chosen simply because it was something that I have never seen before. I zoomed in and clipped out a particular area of jointing that looked interesting. I think modified several aspects of the image to clear it up.
