| Study Name | Lake Whatcom sediment core: total phosphorus and past productivity. |
| EIM Data Entry Review Status | Reviewed |
| Study Type | General environmental study |
| Study Purpose | In 2015, Ecology collected a sediment core from Lake Whatcom in Bellingham, Whatcom County.
Dating of the sediment core provided a reliable age-depth model to estimate specific years associated with each sediment layer.
The objectives of this project are to provide an understanding of the pool or residual phosphorus that has accumulated in the recent (upper 10-15cm) sediments of Lake Whatcom. Secondly, additional information that can be gained about the depositional history of sediments and phosphorus to the core location would provide a more holistic picture of the history of Lake Whatcom. |
