| Thesis: Millennial to Annual
Scale Paleoclimatic Change in Central Alaska During the Late Quaternary
Interpreted from Lake Sediments and Tree Rings Hydrologic models using past lake-level data were used to reconstruct precipitation in interior Alaska over the past 13,000 years. Tree ring analyses revealed that upland white spruce growth has been limited by moisture stress. This thesis demonstrates the importance of moisture in ecosystem processes in this semi-arid region. |

| Thesis: Ecology of Juvenile
Pink Salmon in the North Gulf of Alaska and Prince William Sound The distribution, growth, condition and diet of juvenile pink salmon during their first months at sea were examined. Pink salmon consumption was a small fraction of zooplankton production but potentially a large proportion of available standing stock. Geographic variations in fish condition, diet and zooplankton densities suggest that local conditions are important determinants of juvenile pink salmon growth. |

| Thesis: Optimal Inseason Management
of Pink Salmon Given Uncertain Run Sizes and Declining Economic Value An improved hierarchical Bayesian modelling approach was developed for estimating pink salmon escapement from stream count data. Run reconstruction techniques were used to reconstruct the abundance histories for pink salmon stocks from 1977 to 1998. A model was also developed to evaluate useful in-season management strategies for pink salmon fisheries. |

| Thesis: Phenanthrene Adsorption
and Desorption by Melanoidins and Marine Sediment Humic Acids The role of humic acids from Alaska coastal sediments and their chemical structures play in the adsorption and desorption rates and processes of hydrocarbon-sediment interactions was examined. Applications of these results will be useful in the selection of sites and planning of operations involving potential environmental petroleum contamination. |
