This page indexes EA030 Environmental Analysis projects for the current semester. Each section will link to student work, datasets, reports, and interactive content as those become available. Check back as the term progresses.
Welcome
Using R to Test Hypotheses
Practicing R: Stats1.
Coming soon
Temperature in Public Spaces
Comparing sun and shade temperatures in parks and public spaces across Southern California using paired iButton sensors. Students deploy sensors, merge multi-site datasets, and analyze shade treatment effects with a linear mixed-effects model.

Regional Climate Trends
A project exploring regional temperature, precipitation, and extreme weather patterns using publicly available datasets (NOAA, PRISM, etc.).
Coming soon
BFS / pHake Lake Stratification
Seasonal stratification patterns, temperature profiles, and dissolved oxygen dynamics at pHake Lake in BFS
Coming soon
Compost Maturity Analysis
Evaluation of compost temperature, moisture, C:N ratio, and stability indicators to assess maturity and readiness for field application.
Coming soon
Inland Empire Air Quality
EPA monitoring and PurpleAir sensor data used to analyze PM2.5 patterns across the Inland Empire, including diurnal cycles, seasonal variability, and comparisons with federal health standards.
