Malott, Jake Period 1 3/22/12
Sometimes the river takes a new course and creates oxbow lakes. How many oxbow lakes do you see in this photo? Jake Malott period 1 sees 8 oxbow lakes as a response to journal 1.
What do we expect the CO2 measurements to be doing at this time of year? Would we see them going up as gas is released from the tundra source, or would we watch the measurements drop as CO2 is taken into the tundra sink? Does the time of day really play a big role during this time of the year?
I think that CO2 measurements will be lower because it is cold and there isn't a lot of plants to eat of the CO2. I would say that we would see them going up as gas is released from the tundra source. I think that the time of day doesn't really play a role because there isn't a lot of daylight during the early spring. Maybe 7-9 hours of light. If there was more sunlight it would produce, hopefully, more CO2.
The weather in Huntington Beach, CA is a beautiful 70 degrees.
I will keep reading your journals. I really liked the experiment with the boiling water for today. Keep experimenting and sharing! See you soon. Jake Malott
