Human activity in the Puget Sound region of Washington State has caused an uptick in the nitrogen level fueling algae growth. But how can this urgent environmental challenge be communicated to the general public? Students in the University of Washington’s Master’s Program in GIS created a solution. Read more here!

Wildfires burned more than 116,000 acres in Central Washington this fire season, leaving vast areas scorched and blackened. Although some areas burned so severely that the soil structure actually changed, in other areas the plants will come back — because they’re adapted to fire. Read more about forests’ ability to deal with fire; SEFS‘ David Ford is quoted. |
