Experimental Evaluation of Buffering Strategies to Mitigate Ocean Acidification in Long Island Sound
Started Aug. 22, 2025
Abstract or project description
Daphne is writing an original research paper about her experimental study on organic and chemical buffers for the purpose of ocean acidification in Long Island Sound. She has three series to her study: (1) Understanding whether plants interact buffers, (2) Compare organic and chemical buffers, and (3) Understand the buffer capability after repeated acidification. Daphne created graphs to visualize results. She intends to submit to a high school journal. Her work demonstrates both scientific rigor and creativity in addressing a pressing environmental challenge.
