Abstract
Over the course of my internship at the WWU Institute for Watershed Studies I worked on the Lake Whatcom project, a long-term water quality monitoring program for the City of Bellingham. We focused on the Lake Whatcom watershed, sampling the lake and tributaries monthly and analyzing water samples to determine seasonal and long-term water chemistry and biological changes. My role as a research assistant included collecting water samples from the lake and tributaries, performing extensive laboratory analysis to generate water quality data, conducting hydrological monitoring, and maintaining lab safety and functionality through weekly chores.
