Well, I am in the honors program at my school, and one of the requirements for graduation (still a couple years away) is do do a thesis over my major area of study, which is Physical Science. I want to do something weather-related since that is what I am going to be studying at the Masters ad PhD level. I was going to attempt to model air pressure in such a way that it would account for the almost unquantifyable, but my mentor and I decided that would be prohibitive at this level of education, and since his knowledge of meteorology is intermediate at best, he would not be much help (he is a paleogeologist). Normally at the undergrad level, you might go under the wing of a grad student and do the grunt work of the thesis, and get third or fourth credit for the paper, but since my school has no graduate level science programs, it is just my mentor and me.
Well, this is where we are... We decided that it might be interesting to do research in the area of the water-bearing capacity of certian types of soils, and under various conditions (with vegatation, without, angle of sunlight, presense of man made chemicals like fertilizer, and other things) and its effect on low-level humidity. That way, he could be instrumental in the research, and it plays into my future education aspirations.
Well, took me long enough to get here, but do you guys know of anyone that is doing research in this area, any suggestions for how to go about it, and if this would be feasable under lab conditions?
