Primary Datasets for Case Studies of River-Water Quality
Goulder, Raymond
Bioscience Education, v12 Article c3 Dec 2008
Level 6 (final-year BSc) students undertook case studies on between-site and temporal variation in river-water quality. They used professionally-collected datasets supplied by the Environment Agency. The exercise gave students the experience of working with large, real-world datasets and led to their understanding how the quality of river water is dependent upon both natural processes and human activities. (Contains 2 tables and 1 figure.)
