My first piece of evidence for this research standard is a literature review that I wrote that myself, Ezra Spies, and Tia Blair wrote. My contributions are as follows: Introduction (pg1) and The Long-term Effects and Future of Peatlands (pg7).


The second piece of evidence to submit is a research essay from Phys 3500, a selected topics course covering particle physics.
