Georgia Murray, teamed up with Kennett Middle School (KMS) student Eloryn Fall to analyze photos taken from cameras in Bartlett and at KMS in order to study changing pigments in the surrounding forest canopies. With a B.A. in Biology from St. Anselm College, and a M.S in Earth Sciences/Geochemical Systems from University of New Hampshire, Georgia is an expert in air quality, watershed science, and citizen-science programs which monitor indicators of climate change and air quality.
Eloryn Fall dedicated the past winter and spring analyzing data collected from the haze photographs for her science fair project. Eloryn finished as a finalist at the 2017 Mount Washington Region Science Fair and went on with Georgia to present their work at the 54th Annual Hubbard Brook Cooperators’ Meeting this summer, where Eloryn was the youngest scientists to ever present.
