ENTS Capstone Projects
24 Hour Water: A Field Book on Water Quality in the U.S.-Mexico Borderlands
Capstone Project by Laura E. Oxtoby ’08
June 1- June 25, 2008
24 Hour Water is a compilation of images, quotes, observations, and commentaries that student Laura Oxtoby ’08 put together to tell the stories of the New River, a river considered to be the most polluted river in North America. The fieldwork (photography and water quality analysis) was completed in the winter of 2007. This book is the culminating project for her ENTS program at Carleton College.
Cold Paintings:
An ENTS Capstone Project by Megan Ward ’08
June 1 – June 25, 2008
Painted outside on some of the coldest days of a very cold Minnesota winter, Megan Ward’s watercolor landscapes record her experience of the outdoors. Because it was so cold, the paint often froze on her brush before it touched the paper; rather than drying, the watercolor formed ice crystals on the surface of the paper, creating unexpected results.
