Outraged ornithology professors from Mistford College journeyed out to look over the dumping site themselves and perform soil analyses. They returned to report that the site looked like there had been recent excavation and building activities going on. Boonsong Preserve rangers later confirmed that a new ranger station was being built at that site! Soil samples taken from the site were inconclusive in detecting Methylosmolene (the toxic manufacturing chemical in the suspected dumping) or any other contaminant, as new top soil had been trucked in.

To Be a Visual Detective

  • Need to investigate the hydrology data from across the Preserve.

  • Need to find patterns in contaminant readings.

  • To create a theory based on facts and findings.


Questions need Answers!

With a primary piece of evidence against Kasios now gone, investigators will need to take another approach. Professors in the Mistford College Hydrology Department have come forward with several years of water sensor readings from rivers and streams in the preserve. These samples were taken from different locations scattered throughout the area and contain measurements of several chemicals of possible interest, but they have never been analyzed due to lack of funding. Could visual analytics help reveal something in this data that could make up for the soil evidence that was destroyed?
Q1

  • Characterize the past and most recent situation with respect to chemical contamination.
  • Do you see any trends of possible interest in this investigation?

Q2

  • What anomalies do you find in the waterway samples dataset?
  • How do these affect your analysis of potential problems to the environment?
  • Is the Hydrology Department collecting sufficient data to understand the comprehensive situation across the Preserve?
  • What changes would you propose to make in the sampling approach to best understand the situation?

Q3

  • After reviewing the data, do any of your findings cause particular concern for the Pipit or other wildlife?
