A water quality assessment project: With the aid of a
dissolved oxygen meter, the Project team tries to
determine the concentration of oxygen in the water at
J.I. Case Wetland Wildlife Refuge habitat -- headed by
Applied Biology Professor Dr. Ella Ingram (center) with
Civil Engineering's Dr. Michael Robinson (right).
