In Memoriam 
This volume is dedicated to the memory of Scott Parrish, 
who died in a plane crash on 26 August 1974. During the period 
1971-1974, Scott was involved directly in many aspects of the 
Biome’s Prudhoe Bay research. This included arranging and 
expediting the program’s logistic requirements, design of experi- 
ments, data reduction for several projects, and overall guidance 
to Biome personnel on research activities and opportunities at 
Prudhoe. We considered Scott both a friend and scientific 
colleague. His thoughts on and concerns for the environment 
were highly respected. The loss of his experience and personal 
knowledge of the Prudhoe area is irretrievable. We hope that 
this volume will record for the future both Scott’s memory and 
his interests in the tundra.
