Goals
As a team, the water group decided to research a variety of topics. As a part of our teams goals, my personal goal is to characterize the flow of water through the Amazon basin. Initial work into this subject consisted of defining the boundaries of the basin. Subseqent work has primarily focused on water cycle, with particular emphasis on rainfall and evapotranspiration. Ultimately, my goal is to relate the hydrological cycle to environmental changes, principally deforestation.
