On a routine GLOBE monitoring day our Environmental Science students noticed that the shoreline of the pond had receded significantly from fall of 2011 to spring 0f 2012. Their alarm was communicated to the department chair who noted that the pond in fact had been receding for the past 4 years. The Pond is essentially a catch basin for large volumes of run-off with little recourse.
