On shaky ground On March 1 1980 a new system of seismographs at the University of Washington went into operation to monitor earthquake activity in the Cascades.
Today Mount st helens and other volcanoes in the Pacific Northwest are monitored closely by geologists at the David A. Johnston Cascades Volcano Observatory in Vancouver.

And if you want to see more than just the leaves taking a driving tour of Marinette Countys waterfalls is a good bet for a pretty view.
The 125-mile-loop (200 kilometers) features a series of 14 falls and cataracts all surrounded by a blaze of autumnal color.
The area is open to hiking camping picnicking and whitewater rafting. The area is currently at 85 percent of its peak with the full peak expected in the third week of October according to Wisconsin's tourism site.
and one of the most powerful eruptions in Earth's history said lead study author Alexa Van Eaton a postdoctoral scholar at both the Cascades Volcano Observatory in Washington and Arizona State university.

The park boasts spectacular granite formations crystal clear streams majestic waterfalls ancient giant sequoias two major rivers (the Merced and Tuolumne) and much more.
Yosemite falls: This is the tallest waterfall in North america. Snow runoff cascades down the 2425 foot drop with peak flow in May.
In winter an ice cone is often visible at the top of the falls. Bridalveil Falls:
A 620-foot waterfall of delicate beauty Bridalveil Falls is located near the entrance of Yosemite Valley.
Water roars during the springtime peak flow; during the rest of the year its namesake light dancing flow is on display.
Mirror Lake: Though it s more of a pond than a lake this Yosemite Valley spot is an extremely popular destination.
It boasts glorious reflections of Half Dome and Mount Watkins in spring when the water level is high enough.
Both chemicals may help protect against macular degeneration an incurable condition that blurs central vision and cataracts a clouding of the eye's lens.
We stopped to rest at the base of an 80-foot frozen waterfall. But there was no doubt that the mood was set by the fresh snow lodged attractively in the boughs of the towering hemlock trees that line the gorge.
which is a cascade of events that protects cells from the stress caused by high temperatures.

which reduces the risk of macular degeneration and cataracts. Immune system Glutathione is a powerful antioxidant that helps fight free radicals promoting immune system and nervous system health.
or soak up rain water where it falls. Green roofs porous pavement rain gardens and other water-saving techniques are called green infrastructure.
Furthermore the American Optometric Association reports that Vitamin c can help reduce the risk of cataracts
Dubcovsky and his colleagues now report that that Yr36 encodes a protein that may activate a protein signalling cascade in response to lipids,
what the researchers call a powerful trophic cascade, resulting in fewer potato-munching beetles and larger potato plants.

how could an experiment be large enough to be representative of a forest that has thousands of species of canopy trees and a cascade of plants beneath?
This year s minimum falls short of 2012 s record-breaking thaw but is the sixth lowest since 1979,
Ozone holes like that over Antarctica (which today are due to an entirely different cause related to man) could form as solar particles interact with the atmosphere in a cascade of chemical reactions.
A cascade of communication ensues eventually reaching the nucleus and triggering a change in gene expression.
Or as science puts it we caused a harmful top-down trophic cascade by removing an apex predator the wolf from the food web.
Some of the recent studies suggest that trophic cascades in land-based ecosystems are more center out than top-down composed of many many radial lines of cause
This fieldwork piggybacks on a recent finding by Jessica Lundquist a UW associate professor of civil and environmental engineering and her lab that shows that tree cover actually causes snow to melt more quickly on the western slopes of the Pacific Northwest's Cascade
Reservoirs in the western Cascades hold approximately a year's supply of water. That means when our snowpack is gone--usually by the summer solstice--our water supply depends on often meager summer rainfall to get us through until fall he said.
so start a cascade of events that leads to low oxygen levels in the water bodies.
When a breed population falls to about 1000 animals it is considered rare and endangered. Causes of genetic erosion in domestic animals are the lack of appreciation of the value of indigenous breeds
's research uniquely demonstrates that the effects of glades cascade to a far broader swath of the savanna's plant and animal inhabitants.
Our idea is to use an enzyme cascade to break up the bonds in cellulose enabling their reconfiguration as starch.
and Pacific Northwest research stations universities and Region 5 Ecology Program recently released a synthesis of relevant science that will help inform forest managers as they revise plans for the national forests in the Sierra nevada and southern Cascades of California.
and southern Cascades said Malcolm North a PSW research forest ecologist who worked on the report.
The forest-dwelling fisher (Martes pennanti) once lived throughout most of the mountains in northern California and the Sierra nevada and in the Rocky mountains Cascades and Coast ranges.
The cascade of ecological cause and effect is described by Tyler Coverdale and colleagues at Brown University in a paper published online this month in ESA's journal Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment.
But more importantly we suspect that the strong effects of icing on the overwintering vertebrate community have the potential to indirectly influence other species and cascade throughout the food web.
In addition the chemical later turned out to improve the body's heat-shock response--a cascade of events used to protect cells from the stress caused by high temperatures including those experienced

Ancient peach stones offer clues to fruits originsas peach trees in the Niagara Region of Ontario give up the last of their fruit for the season their ancestors halfway around the globe are clamouring for attention.
Meeting points for DNA-binding proteinwhen brassinosteroids bind to a receptor on a cell wall they trigger a multilevel cascade of reactions that regulates the activity of the CESTA (CES) transcription factor.
This cause and effect process is called a trophic cascade or the progression of direct and indirect effects predators have across lower levels in a food chain.
and trophic cascades in concert with other drivers affect coastal ecosystems. The ecological impacts of a changing climate are evident from terrestrial polar regions to tropical marine environments.
When these fast-moving streams--full of detritus from forest foliage--hit the slow-moving lake the debris falls out of suspension

Exposure to pesticides starts a cascade of cellular events preventing ALDH from keeping a lid on DOPAL a toxin that naturally occurs in the brain.
and laser pioneer Frank Tittel and his group uses a thumbnail-sized quantum cascade laser (QCL) as well as tuning forks that cost no more than a dime to detect very small amounts of nitrous oxide and methane.
and physical contact with other locusts as result of their crowding triggers a cascade of metabolic and behavioral changes that lead to their transformation into the gregarious form that goes to form the swarms.
such as leaving traditional communities without the natural wealth they relied upon, a problem which falls back on governments and seeds unrest.
