Short Description of your Research or Creative Project (700 characters or less)
My project examines the relationship between rainfall and trash accumulation in the San Diego River using survey data collected by the San Diego River Park Foundation and precipitation data from NOAA. Data were compiled, cleaned, and analyzed using Python and Excel to examine correlations and patterns. Results indicate a weak direct relationship between rainfall and trash accumulation, with evidence suggesting a potential lagged effect.

sustainability related (explores at least two dimensions of sustainability: environment, economy, society)
