Communicating Science about the Gold King Mine Spill and Water Quality in the Animas River
Essential Questions: How have geological, biological and human factors created and exacerbated acid mine drainage and water quality issues in the Animas River? What ecological and human health threats might be associated with the Gold King Mine spill: initially, currently and in the future? What actions can be taken to improve the water quality in Cement Creek and the Animas River watershed? What is the role of science in making policy decisions?
