One part of the “Dive into the Bay Delta” workshop involved using Skittles to help demonstrate the concept of chromatography. Here, Elisabeth LaBarbera pours hot water over the Skittles and students observe how the running colors form a pattern.

Roosevelt elk are primarily found in coastal regions of the Pacific Northwest, including parts of Oregon, Washington, and northern California. They inhabit a variety of habitats, including forests, meadows, and marshlands, and are often associated with old-growth and second-growth forests.

A Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) compressor station in Hinkley, California. Although hexavalent chromium occurs naturally in groundwater in the Mojave Desert, concentrations increased in Hinkley Valley beginning in 1952 when the PG&E discharged it into unlined ponds. From there, hexavalent chromium entered the aquifer.
