We did the project to see how dirty the snow is. Norman Stenek, Trevor Eningowuk, and Emma Olanna were all there. This took place in Shishmaref, Alaska. We did this project from February to March. We collected the snow and filtered it to see how dirty the snow is.
These questions are our research questions: How dirty is the snow? Which site is the dirtiest? We were taught how to do this project with Christ Buffington and Carl Schmitt. We did this project with materials from Christi and Carl. We also had Zoom classes with other scientists and citizen scientists. students like us.
We learned that the West Runway site was the dirtiest out of five sites. The snow is dirty, but which site is dirtiest? It’s important to know because we need the snow becomes our water here in Shishmaref. We would need clean snow for things to grow.
