Earth and Environmental Science – Week 9

The end of the course is just one week away, and the UNSW Earth and Environmental Science students are finalising their investigation of Sydney soil lead pollution. Three weeks ago they sampled soils from around Sydney, two weeks ago they analysed them using x-ray fluorescence analysis, and last week they decided on some hypotheses, and collected the necessary data to test them.

Bags of soil are starting to arrive in the lab

This time last year our UNSW first year Earth and Environmental Science students collected soil samples from their homes for analysis for their lead (Pb) concentration. The resulting database was analysed to understand what determines soil lead concentrations in the Sydney region.

The term starts again here in just over a week, and we are running the project again. This time we have invited staff in the School of Biological, Earth and Environmental Sciences to bring in samples from home for our free soil testing sevice. The trolley is starting to fill up.

More on this and some results at the end of term. #science #soilscience #urbanpollution #unsw #environmentalscience #lead #GEOS1211
