The Krejci Aquatic Research Laboratory contributed to “CHAPTER 2: PHYSICAL
SETTING OF THE HALIFAX RIVER AND ITS WATERSHED” of the book which was inspired by recent B-CU Biology Graduate, Jehmia Williams senior thesis work. Jehmia attended a summer internship at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute in Massachusetts and came back wanting to study water quality in the local Halifax River.
Dr. Krejci identified a large water quality data set from St Johns Water Management District available for analysis and roped in Dr. Juan Calderon, B-CU Assistant Professor in Computer Science, and Danithza “Danny” Rojas-Torres, M.S. Microbiology from Universidad Nacional de Colombia for help. Dr. Calderon and Danny wrote a program in Python to clean the data set for analysis.
The team is finishing their manuscript for publication, but we’re excited to contribute to the first book of its kind on sustainability issues related to the Halifax River. Congratulations to Jehmia on her first publication! Check out the full book here.
