Comparison of Cations in Three Lakes Green Lakes Basin, CO

Green Lakes Basin, CO Red rectangles = sampling locations Continental Divide Red rectangles = sampling locations Blue arrows = direction of stream flow

Methods Look at concentrations of Ca2+, Mg2+, Na+, and K+ from 1982 to 2006. F-test – are the variances the same? T-test – are the means the same? χ2 test – are the distributions normal?

Conclusions Green Lakes 1, 4, and 5 have different cation chemistries Variances and means are not the same None of the data are normally distributed GL4 has higher concentrations than GL5 Inputs from hillslopes and from GL5 GL1 is the most different of the three Ca2+ and Na+ concentrations are much higher Possibly a different rock type
