Yesterday afternoon i decided to actually start my assiegnment, up until now i have had an idea of what i wanted to do, however, i am now trying to locate a map and hopfully collect samples to start testing on.As i am a boader i thouhgt the most logical area for me to carry out my testing is the wooloomooloo wharf/harbour area for my water samples, and the botanical gardens for my soil.http://maps.google.com/maps?t=h&hl=en&ie=UTF8&ll=-33.866541,151.22181&spn=0.008267,0.019999&z=16the above link is a satellite picture of where i am going to be testing for my water sampleshttp://maps.google.com/maps?t=h&hl=en&ie=UTF8&ll=-33.865221,151.220682&spn=0.000517,0.00125&z=20the above link is a close up of where i will be testing. I am currently unsure as to whether i need to have differnt locations for the samples of not. but regardless, this will be my first sample.as it is a wharf, when testing the water i will need to take into consideration the pollution due to boats and cruisers, also the impact of fishing and as it is oppostie a naval base, the impact that may have on the water. For my secound water samples i am aiming to perhpas focus on the harbour and collect samples from one side of the operah house, and then on the other side near circular key, and assess the impact of ferry's on native life.http://maps.google.com/maps?t=h&hl=en&ie=UTF8&ll=-33.857933,151.216168&spn=0.004134,0.009999&z=17The above link is an sattelie image of where i want to focus for my secound set of water sampleshttp://maps.google.com/maps?t=h&hl=en&ie=UTF8&ll=-33.857999,151.216094&spn=0.000517,0.00125&z=20and the above link is a zoomed in image of where i aim to test for me secound set of water samples. Although i have not done a great deal on my assigement i think that this was significant as i have finally started to assign certain places of the immediate area to test and consider what effects the surroundings may have on the samples. Within my introduction i have to discuss the topography, geology and human impact, along with background info on my chosen site... however i am having difficulty finding infomation on that discussess the wooloomooloo wharf...
for me to be able to collect my samples, the water within the wharf needs to be reasonably low tide. Also, for more accuracy i could test the soils a number of times to get an aeverage. however i dont think time will permit. I aim to first of all preview were i plan to collect my samples from.

glad to see you have started finally! a few suggestions:
ReplyDelete1- rather than referring to a link- post the images you want to use. Please fix this.
2- the image below, if i'm not mistaken, refers to the area we have already discussed and studied in class so you will need another part of the park to sample from. Also- the park is HUGE. Do not restrict yourself to a small area but rather spread out. I need to see a map of the park and the sampling sites you choose to use. If unsure, show me a map and i will indicate good spots for you.
