St Marys River AOC Sediment & Water Study

The sediment quality survey of the St. Marys River was conducted during the summer of 2003 by Dr. Richard Back, (professor of biology at State University of New York at Oswego) and Dr. Barb Keller (professor of chemistry at Lake Superior State University).  Water quality monitoring of dissolved metals in the St. Marys River began in April 2003 and is ongoing.  This monitoring effort is supervised by Dr. Barb Keller (LSSU).
