Theresa Denison and Veronica Carrasco, seniors at Centaurus High School, won several prizes in regional science fairs in spring 2004 based on their team research done under the mentorship of graduate student Rose Cory (CEAE and INSTAAR), whose advisor is Diane McKnight (CEAE, ENVS, and INSTAAR). Their work has helped deduce seasonal changes in the chemistry and redox state of dissolved organic matter in Nymph Lake, Rocky Mountain National Park. The details of such changes have implications for eutrophication and other aquatic processes as well as for remediation technology. They won 1st place in the Earth and Space Science category at the Colorado-Wyoming Junior Academy of Science as well as two prizes at the Boulder Valley Regional Science Fair: Best Project from the CU-Boulder Biochemistry & Chemistry Department, and 2nd place in the Chemistry Division. They also won a prize from the Colorado Chapter of Soil and Water Conservation. They have been invited to participate in the National Science Fair in Washington DC. Theresa is planning to major in biochemistry at Colorado State, while Veronica will attend CU-Boulder.
