Introduction The Pacific Northwest is widely known for its lush forests, temperate climate and renowned natural beauty. Washington State in particular has endless lakes, forests, beaches, and rolling hills within its western area, as well as extensive rural lands and strong agricultural production. For those residing in Snohomish County, which is located in Western Washington, global warming and climate change poses many constant threats. The Smith Family, consists of two adults (Sean Smith an

called Horseshoe Falls was a home for all Native Americans such as the Chinookan people and the Sahaptin-speaking people. Celilo Falls was located on the mid-Columbia River about a couple miles east of The Dalles. Celilo Falls was a place for trades and to socialize. After the discovery of horses trade network grew even bigger. The falls and rivers were thriving and there were plenty of salmon in the water. By 1850s, when the European Americans settled in the Dalles, the Native people were moved. The

Thomas Vogel Professor Massey Intercultural Communication 10:30 6 May 2016 My communal identity is that of the Inland Northwest. The Inland Northwest is a diverse area of America, where both migrants from other countries and migrants from other states settle down to live. Regardless of that, those who grow up here quickly acclimate to the region. My cultural ethnicity is southern. Georgia, to be exact. We do have some numbers in Spokane, shockingly enough. Those who identify an inland northwest

Mount Saint Helens is an active volcano that is located in the Cascade mountain range in Washington State. This volcano is considered to be one of the most active in the Cascades, and has a complex ecosystem. This volcano remained mostly dormant until May 18, 1980 where it unfortunately erupted and decimated the plant life, wildlife, and forever changed the geography of the surrounding area. Prior to the eruption of Mount Saint Helens, there was a vast ecosystem that thrived in the area surrounding

What can be done to mitigate the Dams Effects and Restore California's Watersheds. The indigenous people of California were completely dependent on the seemingly infinite quantities of salmon and steelhead that annually returned to their coastal rivers. Upon their arrival, European settlers soon developed a commercial fishing industry, which supported them very well. Today, however, that never-ending

Mount Saint Helens is a volcano located in southwestern Washington. It is 8,363 feet tall. Geologists say that Mount St. (Saint) Helens is a stratovolcano, also known as a composite volcano. Stratovolcano is a volcano that is built upward because of layers of hardened volcanic ash, lava, and other volcanic debris. These kinds of volcanoes are distinguished by their steep sides. They often erupt extremely explosively, putting people and properties nearby at risk. The present-day name, Mount Saint

In the past, the American River provided more that 150 miles of spawning habitat for anadromous fish like Chinook (king) salmon and steelhead trout. With the creation of the Folsom and Nimbus dam for flood control in 1970, came the decline of native salmon and steelhead populations because upstream spawning habitats were cut off or destroyed. The Nimbus Salmon and Steelhead Hatchery was created because salmon and steelhead were threatened to become extinct and people believed the population could

The local alignment results indicate that the species from the sample is from is pink salmon. According to BLAST, the top hit (and therefore the highest scoring sequence via local alignment) belonged to the COI gene of pink salmon (figure 4), and therefore it can be strongly implied that the pink salmon one can buy at the store is, in fact, pink salmon. The electropherogram (figure 3) helped confirm the sequencing results, and the electrophoresis results confirmed the validity of the PCR products

The land consisted of “grass covered prairies with streams and rivers.”The climate where hot summers and cold winters. The location of the great plains took parts of present-day Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Wyoming, Nebraska, Kansas, Colorado, Oklahoma, Texas, and New

Albert Bierstadt was a painter most remembered for his dramatic and large masterpieces that focused on extreme color and contrast, especially with lighting. However, when it comes to his painting, Mt. Hood, Oregon, he tends to defy those preconceived ideas. Painted in the early 1860’s, this painting is representative of Bierstadt’s earlier artwork. He uses lighter brushstrokes, a brighter and more monochromatic color palette, and is depicting a minimalist scene in its natural state (Figure 1). The
