(Not all apply to all colleges, some may have more requirements or less) So all of this can…

aged 13) ascended the throne, and the project eventually involved 700,000 workers.[3] Geographer Li Daoyuan, writing six centuries after the First Emperor's death, recorded in Shui Jing Zhu that Mount Li was a favoured location due to its auspicious geology, "famed for its jade mines, its northern side was rich in gold, and its southern side rich in beautiful jade; the First Emperor, covetous of its fine reputation, therefore chose to be buried there".[4][5] Sima Qian wrote that the First…

This information could be used to predict when and where pH levels rise above levels that would be dangerous for aquatic life, agricultural use, and use for recreation and drinking water. I drew upon data collected both from our Fort Lewis College Geology 107 class of Spring 2016 and the historical data collected by the Animas River Stakeholders and the Mountain Studies Institute. Both sources showed fluctuation in both discharge and pH and helped to show the larger effects these aspects had on…
