Processing Information Processed by Lara Michels in February 2104. Biographical Information Aldo Starker Leopold (1913-1983) was a wildlife biologist who made substantial contributions in the fields of ornithology, wildlife management and conservation, and public policy. The eldest son of noted ecologist Aldo Leopold (1887-1948) and Estella Bergere Leopold, he followed in his father's footsteps with his concern for wildlife management and environmental conservation. A.S. Leopold grew up in Wisconsin and received his B.S. from the University of Wisconsin in 1936. Leopold worked as a junior biologist with the United States Soil Erosion Service (1934-1935) and as a field biologist for the Missouri Conservation Commission (1939-1944). He did graduate work in Forestry at Yale University and completed a Ph.D. in Zoology at the University of California, Berkeley in 1944. Leopold's doctoral thesis was entitled The Nature of Heritable Wildness in Turkeys. From 1944 to 1946, Leopold worked as Director of Field Research for the Conservation Section of the Pan American Union. This would spark an interest in Mexico that would lead to the 1959 publication of one of Leopold's most notable works, Wildlife in Mexico: The Game Birds and Mammals. Leopold returned to Berkeley in 1946 as Assistant Professor of Zoology. He would continue as Professor of Zoology and Forestry at UC Berkeley until his retirement in 1978. Leopold also served as Associate Director and Director of the Museum of Vertebrate Zoology on the University of California, Berkeley campus and Director of the Sagehen Creek Field Station (1965-1979). His scientific writings contributed greatly to knowledge of avian biology, and particularly of game birds. Leopold was an active member of many conservation societies, including the Nature Conservancy, the Sierra Club, The Wilderness Society, the National Wildlife Federation, and the California Academy of Sciences. Public service included serving as consultant to the California Water Quality Control Board, the Missouri Conservation Department, and the Tanzania National Parks. Leopold was also an appointee to the United States Marine Mammal Commission. During the 1960s and 1970s, Leopold chaired commissions charged with making recommendations to the United States Secretary of the Interior about predator and rodent control, management of the national wildlife refuge system, and national park wildlife, in general. Professional awards included election to the National Academy of Sciences, the Department of Interior Conservation Award, the Aldo Leopold Medal of The Wildlife Society, the Audubon Society Medal, the Browning Medal of the Smithsonian Institution, the Fellows Medal of the California Academy of Sciences, and a Distinguished Service Award from the American Institute of Biological Sciences. A.S. Leopold was also an avid hunter and fisherman whose hunting and fishing expeditions spanned the globe. Scope and Content of Collection Collection consists of correspondence; writings; a subject file of A.S. Leopold's professional activities; University of California, Berkeley files; personal and family material; some photographs; and a small number of audio recordings. The correspondence dates from 1960 to 1983 and is arranged (loosely) alphabetically by correspondent. Writings include manuscripts, reprints, and and other materials, such as correspondence relating to Leopold's writings. There are also a small number of writings by others. The subject file of professional activities consists of an alphabetically arranged series of files relating to Leopold's work on various projects, commissions, and topics over the course of his career. Among the personal and family materials are some files on A.S. Leopold's father, Aldo Leopold, especially relating to Aldo's estate and legacy. There are also other family estate files. Notable among the personal materials are A.S. Leopold's journals documenting his passions for hunting, fishing and wildlife. These journals date from the mid-1920s to the mid-1940s. Photographs in the collection are of limited quantity and consist of prints and negatives documenting Leopold's work in Mexico, his work on wild turkeys in Missouri, and other topics.

Dedicated professional staff located in Anchorage, Fairbanks, and Kenai Fish and Wildlife Offices and the Anchorage Conservation Genetics Laboratory serve as the core of the Program’s fisheries management study efforts. Administrative and technical support is provided by staff in the Anchorage Regional Office.

Our fisheries studies occur throughout the 16 National Wildlife Refuges in Alaska as well as off- Refuges to address issues of interjurisdictional fisheries and aquatic habitat conservation. Additional information about the Fisheries Program and work conducted by our field offices can be obtained at: http://alaska.fws.gov/fisheries/index.htm The Alaska Region Fisheries Program reports its study findings through the Alaska Fisheries Data Series (AFDS) or in recognized peer-reviewed journals. The AFDS was established to provide timely dissemination of data to fishery managers and other technically oriented professionals, for inclusion in agency databases, and to archive detailed study designs and results for the benefit of future investigations. Publication in the AFDS does not preclude further reporting of study results through recognized peer-reviewed journals.

  • A History of Alaska's Mega Projects
    A History of Alaska’s Mega Projects For the Alaska Conservation Alliance with funds provided by the Alaska Conservation Foundation June 2003 By Ginny Fay, EcoSystems: Economic and Ecological Research 1101 Potlatch Circle Anchorage, Alaska 99503 907/ 333-3568 email: ginnyfay@montana. com Alaska Mega Projects Executive Summary In the 1980s when oil prices were high and the State of Alaska was awash in windfall revenues, the State ventured into a number of large scale infrastructure projects— predominantly agriculture and energy projects. This report gives an overview of the history, costs and benefits of some of the mega projects undertaken by the State of Alaska. Fueled by the flow of oil dollars, Alaska launched into expanding the agricultural sector in the late 1970s. The Legislative Finance Division estimated that $112 million ($192 million 2002 $$) had been appropriated to fund agricultural projects in Alaska from 1978 to 1981. The predominant agricultural projects were the Delta Agricultural Project (Delta I and Delta II), the Seward grain terminal and accompanying railroad cars, Point McKenzie Project, the Agricultural Revolving Loan Fund, and a variety of projects at the University of Alaska Fairbanks and rural agricultural projects. Similar to agriculture, Alaska entered the arena of energy projects on a big scale. In the late 1970s as oil prices rose as a result of the OPEC energy embargo, State coffers swelled while simultaneously, ratepayers’ oil generated electrical power rates climbed. Alaska’s approach to energy project development was to use the windfall oil revenues from high prices to finance electrical projects that would be immune to oil price fluctuations, renewable and sustainable.

    lOOt Statement on Fishery Resources A Supplement to the Special Report Downstream Effects of Rampart Project on Fish and Wildlife Resources WITHOUT THE PROJECT Species present 1. The species of fish that occur in the Yukon River and its tributaries are known in general. Similar qualitative information is also available for some of the lakes within the proposed reservoir area as a result of limited reconnaissance work conducted in July 1962. Virtually the only quantitative data available on the Yukon fish resources, however, relate to the abundance and timing of chinook and chum salmon runs past the damsite and to catches of the subsistence and commercial fisheries. z. The following fish species were found in waters within the proposed reservoir area. This list appears in the Fish and Wildlife report on the project!!. Large whitefish spp. Least cisco Chum salmon Coho salmon Chinook salmon Round whitefish Inconnu Arctic grayling Northern pike Lake chub Longnose sucker Burbot Trout-perch Sculpin 3. Although similar information is not available for waters of the Yukon basin downstream from the Rampart damsite, all of the species listed above probably occur in that area also.
