Burke Museum on Twitch: Bringing Behind the Scenes to Guests at Home
(2023-06)There are many existing virtual engagement tools that museums do not make use of. The Covid-19 pandemic illuminated museums' needs for engaging virtual tools for folks that could not come into the physical space. This ... -
Burke Work: What We Do Behind the Glass
(2022-06)The Burke Museum's ‘inside-out' model offers advantages, as visitors are able to see the collections and watch staff work. This model is a response to the issue of disconnect between the public and museum collections, and ... -
Burnin’ Up for You, Larvae: Larval Thermal Tolerance of the Ochre Sea Star Pisaster ochraceus
(2023)Marine heatwave (MHW) events cause extreme disturbances throughout coastal marine ecosystems. Studies on these events suggest that MHWs are increasing in frequency and intensity. Our study investigated the survival of ... -
Burying efficiency and sediment preferences reveal complexities in habitat choice for Dungeness (Metacarcinus magister) and red rock (Cancer productus) crabs
(Friday Harbor Laboratories, 2014-08-30)Particle size distribution is a key physical factor in determining where organisms live in sedimentary marine habitats because it strongly influences the mechanical properties of the medium and thus the energy required to ... -

Calculating the Uncertainty of a Structure from Motion (SfM) Model, Cadman Quarry, Monroe, Washington
(2016-03)Structure from Motion (SfM) is a new form of photogrammetry that automates the rendering of georeferenced 3D models of objects using digital photographs and independently surveyed Ground Control Points (GCPs). This project ... -
Calling the Cedar River’s Bluff: A study of bed elevation changes and characterizing bluff grain size distributions in the Cedar River upstream of a depositional zone in the City of Renton, Washington
(2019-03)The Cedar River, a 477 km2 basin draining the Western Cascade Range, has experienced meters of channel aggradation over the last century in the lower three river kilometers (rkm), which has reduced channel conveyance and ... -
Can Dam Removal Restore Threatened Shorelines? The Elwha Case Study
(Friday Harbor Laboratories, 2-06-30)Dam construction on rivers like the Elwha River in Washington State reduces sediment supply to adjacent coastal systems and has often been linked to coastal erosion and threats to human infrastructure. With the removal of ... -

Can NATO React to the Arab Spring? Democracy, Human Rights, and the Rule of Law
(2012)The Arab Spring brought a regional paradigm shift in which human dignity and participatory involvement in the political process became the demands of the masses. As long-standing dictators began to fall, NATO was and ... -
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 ... -
