Capture Efficiency of Various Species and Sizes of Drift Macrophytes by Red Urchins, Strongylocentrotus franciscanus
(Friday Harbor Laboratories, 2013-06)In the San Juan Islands, drift macrophytes from shallow waters represent a significant spatial subsidy provided to the subtidal zone. This organic matter is a potential food source for deep dwelling herbivores like the red ... -
The carbon cycle of Glacier Bay, Alaska: primary productivity, the importance of terrestrial inputs and the air-sea carbon dioxide exchange
(School of Oceanography, University of Washington, 2008-06-19)The study examined dissolved organic carbon, alkalinity, particulate organic carbon, and wind speed over the period of a few days. Gas exchange between the atmosphere and ocean is eight times higher than over the open ... -
Carbon remineralization rates in marine sediments beneath areas of high and low primary productivity in the Galapagos Archipelago
(2006-03)This study was carried out in the Galapagos Islands in January 2006 to determine sedimentary carbon remineralization rates and compare them among regions of differing chlorophyll a concentrations and rates of primary ... -
Carbonate chemistry of the San Juan Archipelago: A baseline field study for future ocean acidification research
(Friday Harbor Labs, 2011-07)Natural variability in the carbonate system is difficult to control in the lab. Furthermore, environmental carbonate chemistry data over small spatial scales is lacking. We measured discrete water samples across various ... -
Case study of a museum program in addressing eating disorders and body Image
(2022-06)Museums play an essential role in many health care issues, including helping patients, training medical professionals, and educating the public about health and wellness issues. As the mental illness with the highest ... -
Catastrophic volcanic activity at Rumble III volcano based on EM300 bathymetry and direct seafloor imaging
(2010-01-13)This study used multibeam sonar survey with a deep-towed camera system to produce the first detailed bathymetric maps of Rumble III. The first photographs of the Rumble III seafloor are also included in the paper. It is ... -
Chairman Mao: Great Leader, Great Teacher, Great Supreme Commander, Great Helmsman and the Great Leap Forward
(2006)The Great Leap Forward brought famine and other disasters to China, but did not impair Mao's standing with the Chinese people. This paper explores how the Hundred Flowers Campaign prepared the population for acceptance ... -
The Challenge of Piracy off the Horn of Africa: U.S. Policy in Dealing With Criminal Elements and Dangerous Non-State Actors
(2012)In the failed state of Somalia, piracy is increasing at an alarming rate, impacting all nations that engage in trade or travel in the region. In 2011, Somali pirates attacked 122 vessels and successfully hijacked 28. Since ... -
Challenges to European Unity: Options for U.S. Policymakers
(2017)The United States and Europe have shared a long history of cooperation and mutual interests. They stand united in their commitment to the values such as liberty, democracy, and the preservation of human rights. They are ... -
Changes in Acidification of the Water Column Across the California Coastal Upwelling Front
(2022-03-11)The waters off the coast of California experience upwelling that brings cold, nutrientrich, relatively acidic waters onto the continental shelf. During the wintertime, this upwelling system creates a front, and the pH ... -
Changes in bacterial concentrations with depth, temperature, and chlorophyll fluorescence in the Equatorial Pacific Ocean
(2023-06)It is important to consider the abundance of marine bacteria, as they play important roles in biogeochemical processes that are significant in the carbon cycle. Marine bacteria can give us insight about factors such as the ... -
Changes in Marine Bird Population Composition and Abundances Over Spatial and Temporal Scales in the San Juan islands
(Friday Harbor Labs, 2011-09)Southern resident killer whales seasonally inhabit the Salish Sea waters of British Columbia and Washington and are unique in their feeding behavior. This endangered subpopulation is also a valued resource that has led ... -
Changes in water stratification due to methane plumes on the Washington Margin
(2018-05-27)The changing climate is causing more methane releases from the seafloor making it important to understand how methane plumes can impact the ocean. Methane plumes can have impacts on stratification and circulation which can ... -
Changing the Narrative of Incarceration: Ethical Interpretation of Prison Museums
(2022-06)U.S. prisons have historically been sites of debate, contestation, and uprising. Historic prison museums are part of the dialogue around the U.S. penal system. In the past, these museums have been criticized for upholding ... -
Channel Migration and Avulsion Hazards at Sunshine Point Campground, Mount Rainier National Park, Washington
(2015-03)In November 2006, the flood of record on the upper Nisqually River destroyed part of Sunshine Point Campground in Mount Rainier National Park, Washington. The Nisqually River migrated north and reoccupied five acres of its ... -
Characteristics of echolocation clicks in southern resident killer whales (Orcinus orcas)
(Friday Harbor Labs, 2011-09)Odontocetes rely on echolocation clicks to navigate, forage and communicate. As such, understanding the characters of click shall help understanding whale communication. Southern resident killer whales of the North Pacific ... -
Characteristics of non-pre-vocalic ejectives in Northwest Sahaptin
(2021-10-31)Northwest Sahaptin, like many languages of the Pacific Northwest, has a contrast between ejective and non-ejective stops and affricates before voiceless consonants and word-finally. This article presents the results of an ... -
Characteristics of the Habitat of the Northern Clingfish
(Friday Harbor Laboratories, 2014-08-30)The Northern Clingfish, Gobiesox maeandricus, has many well-studied morphological adaptations to help it cope with the harsh environment that it lives in: the intertidal zone. Lab studies have shown that this fish can ... -
