Active Research on the Goat Rocks Volcanic Cluster, WA 

Active Research at Mount Baker (Kulshan), WA

Kulshan Summer Institute for Undergraduates
As part of  NSF-funded research on Mount Baker, we created a place-based summer institute for undergraduate students in STEM. Participants include those from Northwest Indian College, Whatcom Community College, Western Washington University, and soon to be Heritage University. This week long institute includes two days exploring the volcano and four days in the classroom and laboratory using techniques that volcanologist do. The main objective of this program is to explore different ways of knowing that Mount Baker (Kulshan) is a volcano, exploring oral traditions as well as common scientific methods. This program ran in summer 2023, 2024, and soon to be 2025.
