Researchers show that the upward movement of young Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) emerging from gravel nests is influenced by the geomagnetic field.

The objective of this project is to explore perceptions of community resiliency through examination of the “graying of the fleet” phenomenon in Oregon.

This research shows nonanadromous Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) can extract map information from the geomagnetic field.

This research explores how the nature of their connection to the sea leads to different perceptions of risk and comfort with uncertainty, and how these differences might be important to consider when one group has information another group needs.
