Two hundred eighty three research projects, one bioregion. From the Columbia Valley rainforest canopy to the backyard garden bed, from the mycorrhizal network beneath the soil to the structural engineering above it, from the orca's biosonar to the fox's magnetic compass, from the cuticle scale to the roughness map, from the LED strip to the oscilloscope trace, from the clean watershed to the pollinator's flight path, from the guardian spirit to the scholarly source, from the server log to the trust-based firewall — each project maps a different layer of the same place.
Pacific Northwest Research Series
Rainforest to garden — mapping the living systems of the PNW bioregion. Each project maps a different layer of the same place: the salmon that feeds the forest, the elevation gradient that stratifies it, the birds that pollinate and disperse it, the mammals that shape its trophic structure.
PNW Research Series
The foundational research that anchors everything else. Rainforest to garden — mapping the living systems of the PNW bioregion.
NASA Mission Series
Complete traversal of NASA's history. Each mission paired with a living organism, mathematics, simulations, creative arts, and community business pathways.
Seattle 360 Engine
One artist per degree, paired with deep research on the music that shaped Seattle.
Music Theory & Performance
Blues, psychedelia, new wave, electronic, hip-hop, reggae, alternative, production. From rhythm to mastering. Dedicated to Pepper Coyote.
Sound of Puget Sound
Each degree pairs a Seattle musician with a PNW bird through ecological and musical resonance.
