Forest Sciences

John D. Fox, Jr., Associate Professor of Land Resources; Trinity College '68, B.S.; University of Washington '70, M.S., '76, Ph.D.

Dr. Fox's research interests include modeling hydrologic effects of land-use changes; the intertie between microclimate, mesoclimate and global climate change; the spatial dimension of the concepts of sustained-yield and sustainability; He teaches courses in watershed management, forest management, resource measurements & inventory, environmental ethics, simulation and modeling, and biometeorology. email address: ffjdf@uaf.edu

Glenn P. Juday, Associate Professor of Forest Ecology; Purdue University '72 B.S.; Oregon State University '76 Ph.D.

Dr. Juday's research investigates community ecology, especially old-growth forests, natural area protection and management, and long-term environmental monitoring. He teaches classes in conservation biology and natural areas protection. email address: ffgpj@uaf.edu

Edmond C. Packee, Professor of Forest Science; University of Montana '62, B.S.; Yale University '63, M.F.; University of Minnesota '76, Ph.D.

Dr. Packee's research background is in the coniferous forests of the Pacific Slope and the northern hardwood forests of the Great Lakes states. Dr. Packee teaches courses in silvics and dendrology, silviculture, forest protection, and ecosystem management. email address: ffecp@uaf.edu

Scott Rupp, Assistant Professor of Forest Measurements; Pennsylvania State University '93, B.S.; University of Alaska Fairbanks, '98, Ph.D.

My interests are in ecosystem and landscape ecology emphasizing secondary succession, regeneration, and disturbance dynamics in subarctic and boreal forests. Much of my enthusiam and exceitment for science is directed toward the application of scientific knowledge to resource management issues. My research is directed toward documenting productivity and its controls at the level of individual trees and forest stands, and studying the processes that make it possible to extrapolate these results to the landscape level. I have applied computer simulation models to address these issues for treeline ecosystems in northwestern Alaska. I am currently applying similar modeling contructs to boreal forest dynamics in interior Alaska as part of the Bonanza Creek Long Term Ecological Research (LTER) Program. I teach our natural resource inventory and measurements course and amworking to enhance field experiences for our undergraduates. email address: scott.rupp@uaf.edu

David Valentine, Assistant Professor of Forest Soils; Wittenberg '81, B.A.; Duke University '84, M. S. and '90, Ph.D.

Dr. Valentine's broad research interest is in ecosystem ecology, biogeochemistry, and element cycling in natural and disturbed ecosystems, especially in the north. His recent research focused on the role of soils in forests, grasslands, and wetlands in generating or consuming trace gasses, especially methane, that control Earth's climate. He teaches courses in forest soils and nutrient cycling. email address:  ffdwv@uaf.edu For more info. see Dr. Valentine's home page.

David L. Verbyla, Associate Professor of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) in Natural Resources; Rutgers University '79, B.S.; Michigan State University '82, M.S.; Utah Sate University '88, Ph.D.

Dr. Verbyla's research interests include use of GIS technology for resource inventory and climate change studies; integrating remote sensing and GIS for regional analysis, and support for spatial analysis using GIS. He teaches courses in geographic information systems, GIS analysis, and ARC Macro language programming. email address: ffdlv1@uaf.edu For more info. see Dr. Verbyla's home page.

John A. Yarie, Professor of Silviculture; West Virginia University '71, B.S.; University of Maine '74, M.S.; University of British Columbia '78, Ph.D.

Dr. Yarie's research background is in forest nutrient cycling and plant-soil relationships. He is also interested in applying site specific knowledge to landscape level problems through the use of modeling and Geographic Information Systems. He teaches forest ecology, theorectical ecology, and research methods. He is director of the Forest Soils Laboratory. email address: ffjay@uaf.edu
