Water Pollution of Duwamish River (Seattle)

Water Pollution of Duwamish River (Seattle)
Choose an environmental topic/issue that interests you and do a literature search on it. This research project should involve some environmental science topic which is important to human society. The paper should contain a minimum of at least 8 typewritten pages (around 3000 words) of your own written text, double spaced and 12 Times New Roman font. Figures, tables, quoted text and/or photos add to the paper, but do not count toward the 8 page minimum (for any credit at all) of written material. If the project is not at least 8 pages long, it will be returned ungraded. It is best to write more than 8 pages to make sure. (Please reduce the file size of any photos you attach so that they are appropriate for email.) Your report will be graded on content, research effort, organization and writing (including English, grammar, spelling etc.).
Remember to reference all of your sources and be careful not to plagiarize (see plagiarism-policy.html for a description of plagiarism and how to avoid it). Additionally, this paper should include a literature cited (bibliography) section at the end referencing all your information sources (see below for examples). You should cite at least 8 different references in your paper for each participant; at least 4 of these references (per participant) must be from a source other than a website.
The content score will be negatively affected if the paper is just a series of quotations. Quoted material is also not part of the 8 pages of your text. Though this is not plagiarism, it is poor writing. The paper needs to portray the knowledge you have gained from your research. Your opinion is welcome in this paper, but it must be supported with more than just your opinion. Published reference materials can greatly support an opinion.
