Clinical trial results are reported by an APL-UW and UW Urology team: Transcutaneous ultrasound treatment dislodges and moves small kidney stones and fragments left behind from surgery so that they will pass naturally. (links to UW Medicine)

A recently published study lays out methods to establish appropriate levels of polar bear harvest that meet the cultural needs of indigenous people in the Arctic, while accounting for both climate warming and the health of the polar bear population. (links to UW College of the Environment)

APL-UW researchers contribute data and analyses from networked, autonomous observing systems on the Washington Coast and throughout Puget Sound.

Simplified and miniaturized infrared radiometers to measure the ocean skin temperature are tested in a series of research cruises. These small, lightweight systems are suitable for deployment on uncrewed surface vehicles, which would increase the collection of skin temperature measurements at relatively low cost.

UW Naval ROTC midshipmen spent the summer quarter learning about new technology developed at APL-UW — the Multi-Sensor Towbody (MuST) — to address a real-world naval problem of detecting and classifying with sonar potentially hazardous objects on the seafloor.

Field tests of an accurate acoustic navigation system on Seaglider promise continuous, long-endurance observations of the deep ocean interior.
