Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Evaluate how different sediment types affect the rate of chemical release due to resuspension in a hypothetical scenario.

💡 Hint: Think about how a sandy sediment compares to clay in terms of stability and release.

Challenge 2 Hard

Design a comprehensive study to analyze the impact of bioturbators on sediment-pollutant interactions.

💡 Hint: Consider what metrics (e.g., concentration levels) would be meaningful to track.
