Salmon migrate into Olympic National Park for first time ever – NPS

Yesterday, less than five months after the removal of the Elwha Dam, adult Chinook (king) salmon were observed in Olympic National Park. These are the first observed Elwha River salmon to naturally migrate into the park; the Elwha Dam became operational in 1913, twenty-five years before the establishment of the park, blocking over 70 miles of fish habitat from passage. Read more about this historic event here.

University of Washington lauded – again – for its green practices

University of Washington has a thriving student farm, a growing number of LEED buildings, and an extremely supportive bike-commuting program. And it’s been recognized for these efforts and more, repeatedly. The latest: UW makes #4 on Sierra Club’s “Cool Schools”, and it is included in the Princeton Reviews’ “Green Honor Roll”. Read up about UW’s latest efforts!

Scientists argue the case for geoengineering experiment – UW News

A group of researchers, including ATMO‘s Rob Wood, have published a comprehensive paper on marine cloud brightening, to shed light on what we do and don’t know about this geoengineering possibility. They argue that we can, and should, gather more information about marine cloud brightening as a way to slow global warming, including performing small-scale experiments. Read more about Rob’s paper here!

Public participation in scientific research celebrated in Portland

Have you heard about the awesome ways in which people can get involved in scientific research? Projects like Fold.it, COASST and Whale.fm are only a few of the examples of the burgeoning opportunities under the term “public participation in scientific research” (or PPSR or citizen science). A conference devoted to this topic took place in Portland at the beginning of the month and it was a huge success. Want more? Check out this whole magazine full of stories and insights about PPSR. Then get out there and explore your world! Happy Friday!

Call for contributors: Early Career Ecologists Blog

The “Early Career Ecologists” blog is hosted and written by a collaborative group of early-career scientists. Contributors work in a variety of systems (forests, riparian areas, deserts, the arctic tundra) and study a variety of species (from pines to microbes) all across the globe (from Alaska to Antarctica). They hope to encourage enthusiasm for and understanding of our systems beyond our own tiny, academic circles. The objectives of this blog are to: 1) increase public awareness through science communication, 2) provide a venue for early-career ecologists to communicate their science, and 3) promote interdisciplinary collaboration within the next generation of academics and researchers. Blog posts will vary in topic and format, ranging from the interpretation of complex scientific articles to posts on a day in the field. And, they are continually looking for new contributors! Follow them via our blog or on Twitter (@EarlyCareerEcol). Contact them directly at ecologists.earlycareer@gmail.com.

Scientists look to robot for undersea answers – Daily Astorian

A team of scientists from the Joint Institute for the Study of the Atmosphere and Ocean disembarked Thursday from the Port of Astoria with one of the world’s most advanced underwater robots, Jason. They will be researching the April 2011 eruption of the axial seamount, a submarine volcano located 300 miles west of Cannon Beach on the Juan De Fuca Ridge in the Pacific Ocean. Read more about this adventure here!
