| Thesis: The Physical Volcanology
and Petrology of the 3400 YBP Caldera-Forming Eruption of Aniakchak Volcano,
Alaska Approximately 3,400 years ago, Aniakchak volcano produced a compositionally zoned ignimbrite, involving genetically unrelated andesite and rhyodacite magma. The andesite is a shallowly stored hybrid magma, while the rhyodacite is a magma newly formed at greater depth. The ascension of the rhyodacite into the andesite led to the cataclysmic eruption. |

| Thesis: The Implications of Agriculture
in Interior Alaska for Population Dynamics of Canada Geese The migration ecology of Canada geese (Branta canadensis) that nest and stage in Interior Alaska, including a description of how the introduction of agriculture has potentially positively impacted population dynamics of Canada geese by increasing nutrient acquisition, thereby improving their fecundity and survival. |

| Thesis: Crustal Deformation
in Alaska Measures Using the Global Positioning System Global Positioning System measurements were made at sites across Alaska to investigate crustal deformation. Based on these measurements slip rates were calculated for two major fault systems: the Denali and Fairweather faults. The results were combined into a testable quantitative tectonic model of Alaska. |

Ph.D. | Electricial Engineering/Space Physics: Interdisciplinary Program | ||
| Thesis: Investigation of Auroral Hiss
Observations on the Ground: Application to Remote Sensing of Auroral Magnetosphere Auroral hiss (AH) propagates to the ground by scattering on meter-scale irregularities. The dispersive nature of the scattered hiss can then be used to determine the source region of hiss, electron density along auroral fieldlines and the energy of the electrons generating the hiss. |

| Kris Joseph Hundertmark B.S., The Pennsylvania State University, 1978 M.S., Oregon State University, 1982 |
Ph.D. | Biological Sciences - Wildlife Biology | ||
| Thesis: Phylogeography of Moose (Alces
alces): Genetic Signatures of Population History Analysis of mitochondrial DNA revealed that all lineages of moose can be traced to central Asia within the last 35,000 years. Population growth and subsequent range expansions were linked to warming periods after Pleistocene glaciations. Moose colonizing North America 14,000 years ago passed through a bottleneck, causing low diversity today. |

| Thesis: Heat Increment and Methane Production
by Muskoxen Fed Browse Energy loss to the heat increment of feeding by muskoxen eating browse could be offset by a reduction in energy lost via methane production. Low and inconsistent methane production relative to the heat increment of feeding however, makes it unlikely gains in energy retention are realized. |

Ph.D. | Biological Sciences - Biology | ||
| Thesis: Herbivore-Mediated Effects on
Ecosystem Processes in a Near-Arctic Salt Marsh Interactions between geese and the vegetation on which they rely on to rear their families were studied. Grazing effects plant growth, and plant community zonation of the Yukon-Kuskokwim delta coastal zone. In turn, the effects of grazing influences animal growth and population dynamics in both positive and negative ways. |

Ecology and Population Viability in a Disturbed, Insular Landscape Data on home range, habitat use and demography of wolves were used to model wolf population dynamics and evaluate the long-term consequences of habitat change for wolves. |

| Thesis: Daily Meal Patterns, Voluntary
Food Intake and Fattening of Reindeer During Winter and Responses to Insulin This thesis explores the role of insulin in short-term regulation of appetite of reindeer and fattening during winter. Rhythmic variation in satiety response to meals during daylight and decoupling of meal size and frequency at night is suggested as an endocrine model underlying daily appetite regulation in the reindeer. |

| Thesis: Experimental and
Theoretical Investigation of Stratospheric Ozone Depletion in the Northern
Hemisphere Caused by Heterogeneous Chemistry Ground-based measurements of stratospheric NO2 and ozone were performed over Fairbanks and Ny-Ålesund, Svalbard to evaluate the performance of current state-of-the-art three-dimensional global chemical transport models in the Arctic. We found that the models underestimate the summertime NOy and thereby the rate of ozone depletion. The NOy problem is due to inaccurate vertical transport parameterizations in the models and a very steep gradient of the NOy throughout the stratosphere. |

| Thesis: A Comparative Analysis
of MHC Genetic Diversity at the Class II Loci in Some Arctic Mammalian
Species The genetic level of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) at the class II loci is lower in herbivores than carnivores. Biased positive selection may be applied on DQB locus in bottlenecked populations. Identical alleles have been found in two distantly related species that split 23 million years ago; muskox and moose. |

| Thesis: Radiative Transfer
Modeling in the Coupled Atmosphere-Ocean System and its Application to
the Remote Sensing of Ocean Color Integrity A radiative transfer model for the coupled atmosphere-ocean system is upgraded to provide accurate radiances in arbitrary directions and at levels in the atmosphere and ocean. The model is then applied to quantify the uncertainties associated with several assumptions commonly made about the treatment of light scattering by particles in the atmosphere and ocean. It is found that a realistic treatment of particle scattering is required to obtain accurate chlorophyll concentrations from ocean color imagery. |

| Thesis: Modeling the Influences of Climate
Change, Permafrost Dynamics, and Fire Disturbance on Carbon Dynamics of
High Latitude Ecosystems A Soil Thermal Model (STM) was developed for applications with large-scale ecosystem models. The STM was coupled to the Terrestrial Ecosystem Model (TEM). The updated STM-TEM was applied to a post-fire chronosequence and was validated with measured soil temperature, soil respiration and soil carbon storage. |
