Biology major Chris Kasanke has taken advantage of research opportunities available to undergraduates at UAF. He's working with Associate Professor Mary Beth Leigh to measure the effectiveness of various plant species in bioremediation on a site off Farmers' Loop Road that was contaminated 15  years ago with both crude oil and diesel fuel.
