Pacific herring are culturally and commercially important. To understand more about them at the organism and population scales, we need access to their genome. Scientists in the School of Aquatic and Fishery Sciences published a paper in PLoS ONE this week that describes their work to provide genomic resources to further research on the Pacific Herring. Authors include Steven Roberts, Lorenz Hauser, Lisa W. Seeb and James E. Seeb. Read the article here.
Would you like to be involved? Well, we’d like you to be involved too! Sign up to volunteer: Orca Bowl officials and judges are faculty, researchers, graduate students and staff from the University of Washington, as well as their colleague institutions and agencies. Or, provide much-appreciated sponsorship. Learn more about the Orca Bowl here, and how you can get involved here. As a new feature of our news blog, each week we will be sharing the latest publications coming from the College of the Environment. We hope you enjoy perusing the studies. CoEnv authors’ names are linked to their public profile pages! This week, eight new articles published by members of the College of the Environment were added to the Web of Science, a giant database of academic papers:

Univ Washington, School of Environmental and Forest Sciences Journal: Ecological Applications Puget Sound may be more susceptible to ocean acidification than other places throughout the globe. Scientists at the College of the Environment’s Friday Harbor Labs on San Juan Island are looking into the myriad effects of ocean acidification on the marine organisms that inhabit our waters. Check it out. A group of NGOs and volunteers has come together to rescue native trees from invasive species and rebuilt the forests of Seattle. Read more here.
Next weekend you and your kids can explore the icy oceans, mysterious creatures and crazy machines of polar research. Check out the Applied Physics Lab-sponsored Polar Science Weekend on March 1-4, being held at the Pacific Science Center! |
