The objectives for year have been the gathering of existing information, initiation of monitoring water quality, evaluation of analytical methods and procedures for measuring nutrient regeneration in the sediment-water interface, and the study of growth-environment correlations in Findley Lake, Chester Morse Reservoir, and Lakes Sammamish and Washington. Progress was made...
One of the major objectives of the Western. Coniferous Biome is to understand the relation between terrestrial ecosystems and the chemical and biological properties of drainage waters. The first year of study on such a program has been completed and has primarily entailed a year of descriptive studies.
Data collected from the Fern Lake watershed between 1958 and 1971 include measurements of the rate of flow of water into the lake through a single inlet stream. The objective of the work presented here is to
develop a model of this flow using the climatological data available from the...
The Washington Cooperative Fishery Unit at the College of Fisheries, University of Washington, Is carrying on studies of fishes in Lake Washington as part of the International Biological Program sponsored by
the National Science Foundation. One of our interests Is. in the effects of temperature on the movements of fishes...
On 20 March 1972 three snow cores and one surface snow sample were taken on the Findley Lake watershed to obtain a preliminary estimate of the elemental composition of the snowpack. Variation in chemical composition
with depth and between forested and open areas was also investigated. Data from Ca²⁺, Mg²⁺,...
The preliminary results of a study of the insect emergence at Findley Lake in the Cascade Mountains of Washington during 1972 are presented. Bottom samples were taken from different regions of the lake to compare
the insect emergence at the surface, the physical conditions of the bottom,
and the biological...
