Beth Owen sampled and analyzed
sediment cores from the Quinnipiac River bed near the Fair Haven neighborhood
of New Haven. This area, currently undergoing redevelopment by the City
of New Haven, has long been occupied by many industrial facilities. Beth's
research addressed two components. First, her analyses contributed to the
meager analytical data on sediment quality available for the lower Quinnipiac
River. Second, her research contributes to the understanding of the relative
importance of short and medium-term sediment dynamics in the area.
