UCB Astronomy Theses
Recent theses are available online via ProQuest. It doesn't seem possible to link directly to a list of Berkeley Astronomy ones in particular, but as of June 2012 you can browse them this way:
- Go to search.proquest.com
- At the top of the page, select “Browse”
- Select “Dissertations and Theses”
- Select “Browse by Location”
- Expand “United States – California”, then “University of California, Berkeley”
- View the documents with the “astronomy” keyword. (This has more results than “astrophysics” so hopefully it's more inclusive, but maybe you need to check both?)
- You probably then want to sort by “Publication Date (most recent first)”
Local Copies
There is also a selection of theses, in various formats, stored locally. Check out the list below. Unsurprisingly, some of the files are quite large. “(P)” after a name denotes a degree received in Physics. As should be obvious, this selection is very incomplete.
