Ph.D. Marine
Biology
B.S.,
University of Alaska Fairbanks, 1989; M.S., University of
Alaska Fairbanks, 1999
Thesis: Retrospective Analysis of Marine Biological
Data from Port Valdez, Alaska: A Case Study in Long-term
Monitoring
Hypotheses arising from long-term studies of marine biological
communities are evaluated and refined through retrospective analyses.
Drivers of change identified are the 1964 earthquake and the
oil transportation and salmon aquaculture industries. This dissertation
should increase the accuracy of ecological models and aid in
the management of marine resources.
Major Professors: Dr. Howard Feder and Dr. Susan Hills
Amy Childers **
Ph.D. Oceanography
B.A., Iowa State University,
1998; M.S., University of Alaska Fairbanks, 2001
Thesis: Nutrient Dynamics in the
Northern Gulf of Alaska and Prince William Sound: 1998–2001
Nutrient distributions
in the Gulf of Alaska and Prince William Sound were examined
in an effort to understand the mechanisms underlying the region’s
high biological productivity. An average annual cycle
of nutrient drawdown and replenishment was established amongst
a large degree of interannual and spatial (cross-shelf and along-shelf)
variability.

Ph.D. Oceanography
B.S., Pusan National
University (Korea), 1996; M.S., University of Alaska Fairbanks, 2000
Thesis: Current Primary Production Rates of
the Western Arctic Ocean Estimated by Stable Carbon and Nitrogen
Isotope Tracers
I investigated any change in the primary production
rates between current and previous studies and provided the groundwork
for the future monitoring of ecosystem response to climate change
in the different regions, such as the deep Canada Basin, Barrow,
Alaska, and Bering Strait/Chukchi Sea, of the western Arctic Ocean.
Major
Professor: Dr. Terry E. Whitledge
John J. Piccolo **
Ph.D. Fisheries
Thesis: The Influence of Water Velocity and
Depth on Prey Detection and Capture by Juvenile Coho Salmon and Steelhead:
Implications for Habitat Selection and Segregation
I found little
difference between coho salmon and steelhead in foraging responses
to water velocity and depth. For both species, faster water decreased
prey capture probability, and deeper water increased capture rate.
I propose that habitat selection and segregation is based on fish
size and differences in growth requirements.
Major Professor: Dr. Nicholas
