| My name is Emma Robertson and i am thirteen and in grade 8 at O'gorman intermediate. I live in Timmins Ontario with one of my older sisters and my parents. I enjoy playing sports such as ringette and dance. I would like to get into university to become a vet. I have won many sportsman like awards and medals but this is the biggest experience I have ever gotten education wise. One day the snow was finally melting and my dad was talking about how he wondered how it would effect the flooding this spring so i wanted to look into that as my project and see the outcomes of my experiment. So for my project i wanted to think about taking it further by making a bigger site for experiments and a longer amount of study time. For anyone who wants to do a project just try it out and if it doesn't work see what you did wrong and try to fix it. It is also a big learning experience it could turn out to be amazing and it is also a really fun experience too. if you have the chance take it, you wont regret it. |

It is interesting to see how different land uses can affect snowmelt differently. It is important to understand that landuse can impact the snow melt rate which may help to reduce flooding. I did twenty measurements for four days in different land uses such as open, transition and forested. |
