Environmental Science
Objectives/Goals My goal was to find out if the wetlands in the Goleta Slough had any kind of an impact on the amount of bacteria, specifically E. coli, and Total Coliform, found downstream…
CSEF · 2012
Environmental Science Honorable_mention Award
Objectives/Goals Unlike sifting and chemical purification, which respectively are too superficial and too costly for regular implementation, phytoremediation, the process by which plants vac…
CSEF · 2012
Environmental Science
Objectives/Goals My project objective was if I had five tanks, of equal size also holding equal volumes of water, and I changed the pH to different extremes (acidic, more acidic, neutral, ba…
CSEF · 2012
Environmental Science
Objectives/Goals My goal is to determine that invertebrates will have a healthy survival and reproduction rate in reclaimed water from the New River in order to assess the effectiveness of t…
CSEF · 2012
Environmental Science First Award

CSEF · 2012
Environmental Science Honorable_mention Award
Objectives/Goals Phosphorus supply may become limited in the future. The world's food supply relies on a continuous supply of phosphate in the form of fertilizer. The purpose of this project…
CSEF · 2012
Environmental Science
Objectives/Goals To determine if aquatic plants affect the ammonia and nitrate count in fresh water. I believe that the plants will lower both ammonia and nitrate levels, therefore making it…
CSEF · 2012
Environmental Science
Objectives/Goals I believe that using a rooftop garden on top of a household will keep ambient and internal temperatures close to or below daily temperatures- due to the soil medium, moistur…
CSEF · 2012
Environmental Science
Objectives/Goals My goal was to prove that Holtville's soil will decompose oranges at a faster rate than Calexcio's or Niland's soil. I predict this because Calexico's soil is a mix between…
CSEF · 2012
Environmental Science
Objectives/Goals The objective was to determine which type of material works best to construct artificial reefs. Methods/Materials Three types of materials were tested: concrete, wood, and s…
CSEF · 2012
Environmental Science
Objectives/Goals The objective is to analyze if environmentally friendly (eco-friendly) car wash detergents are less harmful to the environment than regular car wash detergents. The project…
CSEF · 2012
Environmental Science
Objectives/Goals Currently in the United States less than 10% of our power is being produced by renewable sources. This is not only because research is still being done to increase their eff…
CSEF · 2012

Objectives/Goals This study evaluates the physiological effects of ambient phosphate and nitrate concentration in the aqueous environment on quantitative fluctuation of intracellular zooxant…
CSEF · 2012
Environmental Science
Objectives/Goals Fertilizer contamination in runoff surface water is an important source of eutrophication and can have a number of negative environmental and economic impacts. Agricultural…
CSEF · 2012
Environmental Science
Objectives/Goals The United States and many other countries are currently experiencing a fresh water shortage crisis. A major portion of this shortage crisis comes from excess use of water i…
CSEF · 2012
