Our first important deadline is this Thursday, when we will first speak with our contact in Cape Verde. It is still to be determined whether we will talk by email or phone. After speaking with Ms. Cortet, we will be able to further narrow our project focus and hone our research in on what is really relevant to the Poilão Dam in Cape Verde.
We determined that we will need to develop a Pugh chart of best techniques for combatting soil erosion that will be incorporated into our poster. Our poster will be an overview of our project thus far.
After this poster session, we will begin writing our final report, which we will be delivering to the Ministry of Agriculture in Cape Verde. In order to have a comprehensive and successful final report we have decided to write two drafts, so that we will have time to get feedback from Amy and anyone else who might be a helpful source of critique.
Below see our timeline:
Thursday, October 31st - First meeting with contact (email/phone?)
Monday, November 11th (by end of class) - Pugh chart of possible erosion-preventing techniques
Thursday, November 21st - Poster presentation
Monday, November 25th - First draft of report
Wednesday, December 4th - Second draft of report
Monday, December 9th - Final report due
For now, we are working on building up our knowledge of the different techniques for fighting soil erosion. Meetings with professors are in the works, and we are excited to begin talking with Ms. Cortet.
