Course Project

I, Bushyman477 (cool name, I know), currently am a first year student at the University of Canterbury, New Zealand, studying and majoring in Geology. My course project I have been tasked with involves making a website/blog based on something in the natural world, and how it negatively affects several of the Earth's 'spheres' e.g. biosphere, hydrosphere, geosphere etc. For my topic, I have decided to look at the processes of gold mining using cyanide, and how it can affect the hydrosphere, biosphere and the anthroposphere. In this project I shall be looking at the gold-cyanidation process, the dangers of the chemical cyanide, and the disposal of the problematic byproducts produced.
