David Black / Dan Damlin Leaf Morphology and Evolution Data

Leaf Morphology

Ben's Final Project: My NetLogo model is intended to demonstrate the effects of factory emissions on the health of the neighboring population. If a certain factory increases their emissions of harmful gases by a specific percentage, what is the effect on the expected lifespan of nearby inhabitants? If a large number of trees in the area are harvested, what will the decrease in carbon absorption do to the atmosphere in the vicinity? I hope to answer this question, along with potential climate-changing effects of the emissions, with my model.
