Donald
E. Carling, Professor of Horticulture; St. Cloud State University,
Minnesota '67, B.A.; University of Missouri-Columbia '69, M.S.;
'75, Ph.D. Dr. Carling's research is in plant pathology emphasizing
on ultrastructural studies, plant endomycorrhizal relationships,
and vegetable crops diseases. email address: pfdec@uaa.alaska.edu
Dot
J. Helm, Research Professor of Vegetation Ecology;
University of Delaware '69, B.S., University of Michigan '70, M.S., Colorado
State University '77, M.S., '81, Ph.D. Dr. Helm studies vegetation succession
in natural and human-caused disturbances along rivers, behind retreating glaciers,
and on mined lands. These studies encompass soil and wildlife relationships
as well as baseline vegetation inventories. email address: ffdjh@uaf.edu
Patricia S. Holloway, Associate Professor
of Horticulture; Millersville University of Pennsylvania '73,
B.A.; Washington State University '76, M.S.; University of Minnesota
'82, Ph.D. Dr. Holloway teaches courses in plant propagation and
natural resources management. Her research involves the improvement
of production of horticultural crops in Alaska with emphasis on
the propagation and cultivation of native plants for ornamental
and fruit-crop production and the reproductive biology of endangered
plants. She manages the Georgeson
Botanical Garden. email address: ffpsh@uaf.alaska.edu
Meriam
G. Karlsson, Associate Professor of Horticulture; The Swedish
University of Agricultural Sciences '79, B.S.; Michigan State
University '84, M.S., '87 Ph.D. Dr. Karlsson's primary research
interest is the environmental physiology of greenhouse-produced
crops. Dr. Karlsson has concentrated her studies on flower initiation
under low light and temperatures. She teaches introductory horticulture
courses. email address: ffmgk@uaf.alaska.edu
Jenifer
Huang McBeath, Professor of Plant Pathology/Biotechnology;
National Taiwan University, '65, B.S.; University of California,
Davis '70, M.S.; Rutgers University '74, Ph.D. Dr. McBeath's research
concentrates on biological control and enhancement of plant disease
resistance through plant tissue culture and plant transformation
and electron microscopy. She teaches plant pathology. email

Chien-Lu
Ping, Professor of Agronomy, Soil Sciences; Chung-Hsin University,
Taiwan '65, B.S.; Washington State University '73, M.S., '76,
Ph.D. Dr. Ping's research stresses the genesis and classification
of permafrost-affected soils and their relationship to wetland
soils, global climate change and carbon cycling. email address:
pfclp@uaa.alaska.edu
Milan Shipka, Assistant Professor of Animal Science;
University of Minnesota '83, B.S.; Iowa State University '90,
M.S.; Utah State University '96, Ph.D. Dr. Shipka's research emphasis
is in the areas of reproductive physiology and behavior in ruminants
and includes applications in traditional and alternative livestock
species. email address: ffmps@uaf.edu
Stephen D. Sparrow, Jr., Professor
of Agronomy; North Carolina State University '69, B.S.; Colorado
State University '73, M.S.; University of Minnesota '81, Ph.D.
Dr. Sparrow's research background is in soil microbiology, plant-soil
relationships, and soil fertility. He is conducting research in
the area of nitrogen cycling in Alaska agricultural soils and
on legume-Rhizobiumrelationships in the subarctic. email
