Project+2

==For the next two projects, we are going to look at the impact of Superstorm Sandy to our area. Project 2 will be focusing on the Hudson River. You will have a little more choice in what your hypothesis will cover, as well as the data that is available to you. ==

Part 1a – General background research on Sandy (Due Monday 2/25)

 * Part 1a can be typed or hand written
 * Visit HRECOS' Data Set
 * Look at the Parameters that are available for the Pier 84 Station
 * Tell me how each of the parameters may/may not have changed during and after superstorm Sandy. You don't have look at any data, just a basic understanding is fine
 * //Example: **Wind speed** may have changed during the storm, but probably will not have a lasting impact//
 * If you don't know what a parameter is (like turbidity), look it up
 * Use the Sandy Background websites, and other websites that you find to:
 * Make a list of five ways the Hudson River may have been impacted by Sandy (each item should have a 2-3 sentence description)
 * Look at Animals, Plants, People, etc., not the parameters from the first half

Part 1b – Worksheet on Saltwater Front (Due Monday 2/25)

 * Complete the Finding the Salt Front worksheet to develop an understanding of tides, weather and seasons can impact the salt front. The worksheet will be handed out Thursday by the sub
