1. Lake Comparison Physical and Chemical Properties
James and James

2. Parameters Temperature Turbidity- Indicates clarity of lake
Chlorophyll- Can indicate productivity of lake
PH- important for chemical reactions and biota
Oxygen Concentration- Important for biota
Conductivity- Important for showing ions and salts in the lake.

3. Data Collecting and Manipulation
Collected data using YSI multi probe
Collected at approximately one meter intervals
Converted depth into percent of total depth (so the different lakes could be compared easier)

9. Conductivity Comparison
Conductivity (uS/cm)
Percent of Total Depth

10. Conclusions Stratification can be linked to lake morphometry
Green lakes chlorophyll can be linked to turbidity and stratification
Relatively high PH Adirondack lakes
Very high PH in hypolimnion of Onondaga
Mystery pattern in Oneida Lake
