Forest managers in the eastern Cascades selectively thin forests to promote wildfire resilience. New research from the 天美影院shows that the same process can also increase seasonal snowpack, providing some relief to drought-prone areas throughout central Washington.
天美影院researchers collaborated with people at multiple institutions to collect pre-storm data and place sensors to measure storm surge levels and wave height during Hurricane Helene’s landfall.
The first-of-its-kind center has received a $6 million renewal grant from the National Science Foundation.
天美影院researchers developed a project that scans the streets every few weeks to document how Seattle has reacted to the pandemic and what recovery looks like.
A center housed at the 天美影院 offers a new way for scientists to get their hands on state-of-the-art equipment to study the effects of natural disasters. The RAPID Facility, which is the first of its kind in the world, contains over 300 instruments that are available for researchers around the world to use.
