| In order to understand how disturbance affects diversity we examined two primary means of disturbance on Titlow Beach in Washington State: anthropogenic and wave action. We measured anthropogenic disturbance by comparing the species diversity at the North and South ends of the beach. We hypothesized... |

| This research simulated the seasonal cycles in a shallow, urban lake, as they change from winter to summer eutrophic conditions, by comparing prepared anoxic sediment microcosms to initial lake surface water measurements. Lake and sediment samples were taken from Long Lake in Thurston County, Washin... |
| Past studies have been conducted to better understand the leaching processes and characteristics of native and nonnative leaf species found in Western Washington. In this study the following variables were considered: 1) quantifying preservation techniques over a 48-hour period, 2) whether green veg... |
| Over the last fifty years, public awareness of the long-term effects of chemicals and pesticides has increased due to the anticipation of adverse human and ecological health effects. Industrial activities, and their resulting by-products in wastewater, have long been studied and regulated by the gov... |
