El Niño occurs when the temperature of the pacific ocean becomes warmer than average, adding more precipitation into the air creating larger storms.

Safety is one of the most important aspects people should consider before and when the storms do hit. Being prepared can…

Free-Diving Feats Meet Survival Needs in Humboldt
Arcata, Cal Poly University Humboldt, HSU, Humboldt, Humboldt County, Humboldt State University, Science, StudentsBy Ariana Wilson If you look closely, you may see bubbles underneath the dark, murky water in the Jetty.

Arcata, Cal Poly University Humboldt, HSU, Humboldt, Humboldt County, Humboldt State University, Science, StudentsBy Sadie Shields Whether you’re walking through the Arcata forest with its lush trees and greenery, or surfing in the bay, you may hear or notice a feathered friend moving by you.

For many birders, the interest begins long before they pick up a field guide or scope. “I’ve always been proud to identify whales and red-tailed hawks when I was younger. There was one time a red-tailed hawk flew over and I’m like ‘that’s a…

Taxidermy is a dying art kept alive inside the walls of Cal Poly Humboldt
Arcata, Cal Poly University Humboldt, HSU, Humboldt, Humboldt County, Humboldt State University, life and arts, Science, StudentsBy Julia Kelm While the sight of an animal carcass might make some people queasy, for Wildlife Museum Curator Anna E. Goldman, it is an area of fascination. “I’ve always been interested in dead things,” Goldman said as she ripped the skin from the body of a recently thawed squirrel for a taxidermy demonstration. “In 3rd grade, for show and tell, I brought in a severed deer leg that still had fur on it. I was really excited, and then the principal called my mom… they thought I was a serial killer.” This love of death led Goldman to an…
