Danby R. 1999. Regional Ecology of the St. Elias Mountain Parks: A synthesis with Management Implications. D Scott Slocombe, Dr
The St. Elias region of North America is a mountainous area occupying portions of British Columbia, Alaska, and the Yukon Territory. A contiguous network of parks and protected areas comprises the core of the region. The thesis represents the first study to systematically examine the protected areas of the St. Elias region as a collected unit, thereby transcending political boundaries. Mr. Danby was awarded the University's Faculty of Arts and Science Gold Medal for Academic Excellence as recognition of the high quality of scholarship embodied by the thesis.
