Project Description
The objective of this research is to quantify the aqueous concentration of several added and naturally occurring solutes in groundwater, surface water, and groundwater/surface water mixtures from field-based experiments conducted a uranium-contaminated field site in Riverton, Wyoming.
Tasks and Responsibilites
The student will conduct the following tasks: 1) inventory all samples (up to 3,000 samples) as they arrive the School of Freshwater Sciences (SFS), 2) prepare all samples to be run on the ICP machine, 3) prepare all standards to be run on the ICP, 4) develop a calibration curve for all analytes, 5) quantify the concentration of all analytes, 6) report the lower detection limit and percent uncertainty for the concentration of all analytes, and 7) write a technical report that summarizes the methodology and results of the ICP research.
Desired Qualifications
