| B.S., University of Alaska, 1993 | |||
Doctor of Philosophy Degrees |

| Dorte Dissing | Ph.D. | Climatology: Interdisciplinary Program | |
| B.S., University of Copenhagen (Denmark), 1993 M.S., University of Alaska Fairbanks, 1997 |

| Thesis: | Landscape Control of Thunderstorm Development in Interior Alaska | ||
This dissertation examined the distribution of lightning strikes, thunderclouds, thunderstorm indices, elevation and vegetation in the boreal forest region of Interior Alaska. The results suggest that the underlying surface has more influence on convective development on days with local thunderstorms than on days with widespread thunderstorms. Major Professor: Dr. David L. Verbyla |

| Thesis: | Carbon Cycling inThree Mature Black Spruce (Picea mariana [Mill.] B.S.P.) Forests in Interior Alaska | ||
Climate warming is generally predicted to increase organic matter decomposition and stimulate soil respiration. This relationship was examined for black spruce (Picea mariana [Mill.] B.S.P.) near Fairbanks, Alaska, that varied in soil environment. Contrary to the prediction, soil respiration decreased with greater organic matter decomposition because spruce decreased carbon allocation to the roots. Major Professor: Dr. David W. Valentine |

| Martin Wilmking | Ph.D. | Landscape Ecology/Earth System Science: Interdisciplinary Program | |
| B.S., University of Potsdam (Germany), 1998 | |||
| Thesis: | The Treeline Ecotone in Interior Alaska - From Theory to Planning and the Ecology in Between | ||
Treeline trees in Interior Alaska show three growth-responses to warming: enhanced, decreased (most trees ¤ 40 percent), non-significant. Growth-response cannot be explained only by landscape position. Modeled growth projections show possible elimination of white spruce at some locations in Denali and Gates of the Arctic national parks due to drought stress. Major Professor: Dr. Glenn Patrick Juday |
