When he finished his doctoral dissertation in 1937, E.F. Brater, a graduate student based at the University of Michigan, became the first graduate student to complete an advanced degree based upon work at Coweeta. Over two hundred and thirty students have since gone on to complete graduate-level degrees at Coweeta. Abstracts and, where available, complete copies of these dissertations and abstracts are archived in the Coweeta LTER Dissertations & Theses Catalog.
