Are fjords sources or sinks of CO2? A study of air-sea CO2 fluxes in Nootka Sound, B.C.
(2015-06)[author abstract] Carbon dioxide, an important atmospheric greenhouse gas, has increased approximately 40% in the past 200 years due to anthropogenic activity. As a result of this, the global carbon cycle has been thrown ... -
Are marine isopods picking favorites with colors? The role of color sensing in food preference in Pentidotea wosnesenskii
(2021)The marine isopod Pentidotea wosnesenskii is one of many species that can change its color throughout its life. The variety of colors it can take on allows it to match the species of algae it lives on and consumes. While ... -
Are Warming Ocean Temperatures Altering Photosynthesis and Respiration in Nereocystis luetkeana?
(2022-05)Due to climate change caused by anthropogenic stressors there has been an increase in warming ocean temperatures that have led to the decline of kelp forest cover as well as range shifts (Duarte et al. 2018). Because of ... -
Are We Living in the Racial Capitalocene?: Anthropocene Discourse, Racial Capitalism, and Ta-Nehisi Coates’ "Between the World and Me"
(University of Washington Libraries, 5/7/2018)As global temperatures continue to increase, it becomes clear that we are living in an era of human-induced climate shift. This era has commonly been labelled the “Anthropocene” in both the sciences and the humanities, a ... -
“Arm the Fish!”: Addressing the Global Challenges of Marine Protected Areas
(2012)Marine Protected Areas” declare specific marine spaces subject to unique legal protection, and currently serve as the most comprehensive approach to ecosystem conservation. In this report, MPAs have been categorized into ... -
Art in Situ: Exploring Art in Public Places
(2023-06)The Washington State Art Collection’s Art in Public Places program (AIPP) acquires and cares for artworks throughout state buildings, colleges, universities, and schools where people study, work, and live. UW Seattle is ... -
Art Museum Access Programs: Virtual Transition in Response to COVID-19
(2021-06)Access programs at art museums for neurodivergent adults, specifically those with intellectual and developmental disabilities, as well as older adults with memory loss, were greatly impacted by closures during the Coronavirus ... -
Asia's Emerging Nuclear Era: Climate Strategies & Implications for U.S. Policy
(2011)Earth‘s climate is changing rapidly. Two centuries of burning fossil fuels have increased atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases. This has led to elevated mean near-surface temperatures, ... -
Assemblage and foraging behavior of demersal fishes and large invertebrates across eelgrass and sandflat habitat at False Bay, San Juan Island
(2021)Understanding the species assemblage and foraging behavior of demersal fishes and large invertebrates occurring at False Bay was the primary objective of this study. This knowledge can provide valuable insight on future ... -
Assessing euphausiid homogeneity in Puget Sound scattering layers
(2019)Euphausiids are ecologically important zooplankton in Puget Sound that vertically migrate and can form scattering layers. The depth of euphausiids across sex, species, and length affects what predator-prey interactions ... -
Assessing Fracture Connectivity using Stable and Clumped Isotope Geochemistry of Calcite Cements
(2014-12)Understanding flow path connectivity within a geothermal reservoir is a critical component for efficiently producing sustained flow rates of hot fluids from the subsurface. I present a new approach for characterizing ... -
Assessing marine heatwave impacts on the pelagic ecosystem of the San Juan Archipelago
(2023)In a rapidly changing world, understanding the interactions between the biological and abiotic world is crucial to predict change within our ecosystems and more importantly manage them. With increasing occurrences of marine ... -
Assessing muscle function in the hagfish feeding apparatus of Eptatretus stoutii
(Friday Harbor Laboratories, 2015-09)Hagfish are marine chordates that, despite lacking jaws, are able to feed on large, tough carcasses with the protraction and forceful retraction of toothplates. Using muscle stimulation experiments, we studied the function ... -
Assessing the abundance and movement of marine birds during a range of tidal currents at Cattle Point, San Juan Island
(2023)Observational surveys are vital to ornithological studies. Often done by boat or plane, they can offer data on the behavior, ecology, and habitat use of marine birds. However, these methods can be challenging to use, ... -

Assessing the impact of heatwave exposure on the swimming performance, kinematics, and metabolism of a nearshore marine fish, Cymatogaster aggregata
(2023)The severity and frequency of marine heatwaves (MHWs) have increased drastically across the globe, with some of the most intense heatwaves happening within the last decade. The consequences of MHWs vary in severity and ... -
Assessing the Influence of Acoustic Variation on the Acquisition of Bathymetric Surveying Data
(2013-06)[author abstract] The field of hydrographic surveying is inherently important to achieving a true understanding of the world that underlies the vast bodies of water that cover the earth. In this study I will determine the ... -
Assessing the Obama Administration’s Pivot to Asia
(2016)On October 11, 2011 then Secretary of State Hillary Clinton wrote an article for Foreign Affairs , titled “America’s Pacific Century”. In it she states that over the past decade U.S. attention has been preoccupied with ... -
Assessing the State of Pteropod Shells and Ocean Acidification in Washington Marine Waters
(Friday Harbor Laboratories, 2014-12)The relationship between pteropod shell dissolution and waters undersaturated with aragonite has been well documented (Bednarsek et al 2012). Low aragonite saturation levels decrease the availability of carbonate ions ... -
Assessment of N2 production in anoxic regions of Effingham Inlet, British Columbia
(2010-05)Anerobic processes that reduce fixed nitrogen to N2 gas were determined to be present in the anoxic regions of Effingham Inlet, British Columbia. Within this fjord two sills deter circulation of oxygen rich water from ...
