NOAA Contact 9/18

Contact With NOAA

Date of email: September 18, 2017
Contact: NOAA
Reference: the author of their article "What is a Salt Marsh?"
Question: asked if they know the author of their article
Discussion: NOAA responded to my email saying that they do not attribute their stories to one particular author, but rather that their information is reputable since they are a United States government agency, everything on their website can be used by the public.
Conclusions: With this being said, their information, while not a primary source as there is no specific scientist associated with it, can be used in my research and background information.

What I've Done I presented my formal progress update for the third marking period. I also began my discussion yesterday and emailed both my discussion and results portion of my scientific research paper to my mentor, Mrs. Zrada, to be revised. Plans for Today I plan to use Mrs. Zrada's corrections to tweak my results and discussion sections to be more accurate and professional-sounding. After I make the necessary corrections, I will hand in my abstract, results, and discussion, as they are all due today, 10 April. Plans for the Future I will begin working on my marking period four work once I receive the syllabus for the quarter.
