Migrations of Salmon and Trout in Puget Sound: New Approaches to Old Questions

Quinn, Tom (University of Washington Water Center, 2009-02-18)

The migrations of salmon and trout are an integral part of their basic biology and are also important for their conservation because migrations define critical habitat and control patterns of fishery exploitation. Decades ...
Modeling GPS Positional Error Based on LiDAR Derived Canopy Density

Clarkin, Tobey (University of Washington Water Center, 2006-02-16)

Clarkin will discuss modeling of Global Positioning system (GPS) accuracy with LiDAR-derived tree canopy density. He will discuss management applications and future directions for this research.
Monitored Glaciated Mountain Headwaters

Weekes, Anne (University of Washington Water Center, 2010-05-18)

Significant physical differences between glaciated mountain headwaters and lowland or unglaciated catchments suggest the need for monitoring parameters appropriate to these basins. A conceptual framework based on recent ...
Monitoring Guidelines to Evaluate Effects of Forestry Activities on Streams in the Pacific Northwest and Alaska

MacDonald, Lee H.; Smart, Alan W.; Wissmar, Robert C. (University of Washington Water Center, 1991-05)

This document provides guidance for designing water quality monitoring projects and selecting monitoring parameters. Although the focus is on forest management and streams in the Pacific Northwest and Alaska, a broader ...
Monitoring Spatiotemporal Heterogeneity of Arid Wetlands

Moskal, L. Monika (University of Washington Water Center, 2009-02-18)

Wetlands are valuable ecosystems that benefit society. They allow for gradual recharge of groundwater, provide critical habitat for plants, fish and wildlife, control erosion, mitigate water pollution, provide food and ...
Monitoring Streams and Watersheds: Reflections on Recent Advances and Persistent Challenges

Conquest, Loveday; Ralph, Stephen C. (University of Washington Water Center, 2006-05-30)

Conquest and Ralph will introduce stream and watershed monitoring efforts, including the purpose of monitoring and an evaluation of how we are doing. They will provide an overview of watershed processes. They will review ...
Monitoring Urban Streams: Strategies and Protocols

Scholz, Jenna; Booth, Derek (University of Washington Water Center, 2000-01)

This fact sheet introduces monitoring strategies and protocols for urban stream management. The fact sheet presents an approach to crafting the most appropriate monitoring program across a variety of settings. Things to ...
Monitoring Urban Streams: Strategies and Protocols for Humid-Region Lowland Systems

Scholz, Jenna; Booth, Derek (Center for Urban Water Resources Management, 1999-01-01)

Governmental mandates and public awareness have forced progressively smaller and less sophisticated agencies and organizations to initiate stream monitoring programs, particularly in urban and urbanizing areas. Yet many ...
Movement Patterns of Adult Sockeye Salmon in Lake Washington

Newell, Jenny (University of Washington Water Center, 2004-02-06)

Newell will present the results of a study investigating the migration behavior of sockeye salmon in Lake Washington. In the study, fish were tagged at the Ballard Locks before they came into Lake Washington. Then they ...
Moving Beyond Minimal Treatment: King County's Brightwater Treatment Project

Hummel, Stan (University of Washington Water Center, 2010-05-11)

King County is building the Brightwater project, which includes one of the largest membrane bioreactor (MBR) wastewater treatment plants in the world. MBR provides a higher level of treatment than standard secondary ...
The National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON): Some Incredible New Resources are Coming to the Pacific Northwest

Franklin, Jerry (University of Washington Water Center, 2009-01-20)

Franklin will introduce the National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON), a national environonmental monitoring effort. We have a changing landscape due to climate, biogeochemistry, and land use. Participants in the ...
Natural Regeneration of Conifer in Managed Riparian Forests

Beach, Eric (University of Washington Water Center, 1999-01)

This fact sheet describes conditions that help conifer establishment in managed riparian forests. Seed source and substrate will be discussed.
Natural Wetlands in an Unnatural Location: Consequences of Urbanizing Watershed on Landscape Processes and Wetland Function

Sheldon, Dyanne (University of Washington Water Center, 2009-01-13)

Sheldon will discuss issues related to urban wetlands. The overarching theme: We have a lot of information about wetlands. But how does all this science get applied? And what are the politics of how science gets applied? ...
New Scenarios for Pacific Northwest Climate Change

Salathé, Eric (University of Washington Water Center, 2006-02-16)

Salathé will review evidence of climate change in the Pacific Northwest. Weather station evidence shows a pattern of warming. Models predict warming of 1/4 to 1 degree Fahrenheit per decade. There will probably be more ...
No Bull: Juvenile Bull Sharks May Play Diverse Functional Roles in Coastal Food Webs

Wirsing, Aaron (University of Washington Water Center, 2009-02-18)

Wirsing will present a study about bull sharks. These predators may induce numerous direct and indirect effects in food webs. Most studies of these effects have used a “species”-based approach, i.e., individuals within a ...
Nonpoint Source Pollution Programs: Assessing Methods and Behavioral Effectiveness

Ryan, Clare; Ise, Jennifer; Wolf, Kathleen (University of Washington Water Center, 2000-08)

This fact sheet describes a research project looking into intervention programs and how they can encourage adoption of behavior changes to accomplish specific water quality objectives. The fact sheet will outline the ...
Nonpoint Source Pollution Programs: Research About Landowner Psychology & Actions

Ryan, Clare; Wolf, Kathleen (University of Washington Water Center, 2002-09)

This fact sheet describes the results of a research project looking into intervention programs and how they can encourage adoption of behavior changes to accomplish specific water quality objectives. Invervention programs ...
Nonpoint Source Pollution Programs: Research About Landowner Psychology & Actions

Ryan, Clare; Wolf, Kathleen (University of Washington Water Center, 2002-09)

This fact sheet describes a research project looking into landowner intervention programs and how they can encourage adoption of behavior changes to accomplish water quality objectives. The fact sheet will outline the ...
Nutrient Retention in Riparian Buffers in Puget Lowland Agricultural Streams, Skagit County, Washington

Monohan, Carrie Elise (University of Washington Water Center, 2004-02-06)

Monohan will describe a study investigating the function of riparian buffers. First, she will provide some background about Puget Sound lowland agricultural streams: salmonid and agricultural uses. She will outline a ...
On the Water Every Week - Protecting Puget Sound Every Day

Joerger, Sue (University of Washington Water Center, 2008-10-07)

Joerger will introduce the Puget Soundkeeper Alliance, a non-governmental organization dedicated to protect Puget Sound by tracking down and stopping illegal sources of pollution. She describes the efforts of the organization, ...
