DIALOG & DISCCRS
PhD Dissertation Registry
More than 1,000 dissertations have been registered with the DIALOG program since its inception in 1993. The DISCCRS Registry, begun in 2002, contains more than 200 entries. Both Registries are international in scope, with citizens of more than 60 countries participating to date and nearly 50% of PhDs registered outside the U.S. Demographic information is collected with abstracts, and statistical information is reported on a biennial basis. See the Quick Links in the right-hand margin to find Abstract Registration instructions, symposium application instructions, program and symposium reports and resources for enhancing interdisciplinary and early-career development.
DIALOG Ph.D. Dissertation Registry includes abstracts of PhDs dealing with any aspect of aquatic science research, freshwater or salt, basic or applied, dealing with or relevant to aquatic biology/ecology or issues at the land-water interface.
DISCCRS Ph.D. Dissertation Registry includes abstracts of PhDs dealing with any aspect of climate change or impacts. This includes the full range of natural and social sciences, engineering, mathematics, modeling and the humanities.
Dissertation abstracts are archived in a fully searchable format. Dissertations encompassing aquatic-science and climate-change issues are included in both the DIALOG and DISCCRS registries.
