This week I did a pretty simple z-score analysis over the Phyco graphs I finally got working last week for the year 2012, and pulled together the chlorphyll graphs for different depths/years to compare with Phyco.  Curently working on smoothing the data (take the acerage for an hour, then plot the hour averages, etc.) 

Through these past few weeks, I have been exploring my knowledge (with a ton of troubleshooting) of R studio and big data analysis.  

I am currently working with Tawnya Peterson to help her prepare her current research paper of M. bacteria growth and it's link to chlorophyll.  Over the past several weeks I have been learning how to strip the data off the web, and analyze a year's worth of data.  

Today I got a tour of campus, and started working with Tawnya Peterson on Geyer-MacCready plots.  I'm working to finish up what some students from last year were working on over the next 3 weeks
