Ph.D. Oceanography: Fisheries
B.S., University of Alaska Fairbanks, 1993. M.S., University of British Columbia (Canada), 1995
Thesis: Physical and Biological Factors Affecting the Diel Vertical Migration of Walleye Pollock
This research examined the effect of light, temperature and prey availability on the diel vertical migration of adult walleye pollock. In summer, pollock follow their prey to the surface at night, ignoring both light and temperature. In the fall, however, pollock migrate with the minimum light necessary for visual foraging.
Major Professors: Dr. Kenneth O. Coyle and Dr. John J. Kelley
Edward V. Farley, Jr.
Ph.D. Fisheries
B.S., University of Washington, 1987. M.S., University of Alaska Fairbanks, 1996
Thesis: Juvenile Bristol Bay Sockeye Salmon Ecology
Smaller sockeye salmon are less likely to survive during their first summer at sea. Body size, fatness, and growth potential are controlled by the physics of the eastern Bering Sea ecosystem. Spring and summer sea temperatures play a key role in marine productivity and sockeye salmon growth and survival.
Major Professor: Dr. Milo D. Adkison

Ph.D. Marine Archaeology: Interdisciplinary Program
B.A., Middlebury College (Vermont), 1995. M.S., University of Wisconsin-Madison, 2000
Thesis: Six Thousand Years of Change in the Northeast Pacific: An Interdisciplinary View of Maritime Ecosystems
This project developed long-term records of North Pacific marine ecosystems and explored relationships between change in those ecosystems and change in prehistoric Aleut culture through soil chemistry, isotope analyses of lake cores and isotope analysis of bone collagen from archaeological middens.
Major Professor: Dr. Bruce P. Finney
Olav Aleksander Ormseth **
Ph.D. Oceanography: Fisheries
B.A., Bates College (Maine), 1991. M.S., University of Alaska Fairbanks, 1997
Thesis: Reproductive Potential of Pacific Cod (Gadus Macrocephalus) in Alaska
Field and laboratory investigations were used to study the reproductive biology of Pacific cod (Gadus macrocephalus) in the North Pacific Ocean. The reproductive success of Pacific cod depends on the number of eggs they produce, rather than the size or quality of individual eggs. Reproduction is under strong environmental control.
Major Professor: Dr. Brenda L. Norcross
Cory T. Williams
Ph.D. Marine Biology
B.S., Simon Fraser University (Canada), 2000
Thesis: Foraging Ecology and Nutritional Stress of Tufted Puffins (Fratercula cirrhata) Inferred from Stable Isotopes, Fatty Acid Signatures, and Field Endocrinology
Stable isotopes and fatty acid signatures were used to investigate the trophic ecology of free-living tufted puffins. Analysis of body condition indices and circulating levels of stress hormones were used to determine seasonal and inter-annual variation in the physiological condition of breeding puffins.
Major Professor: Dr. C. Loren Buck
