Unangax̂ Mummies as Whalers: A Multidisciplinary Contextualization of Human Mummification in the Aleutian Islands
… was practiced in regions contiguous to the Aleutians. Literature pertaining to the passage between life and death focuses on the liminality of the soul. This concept is presented as one of the prime elements in understanding mummification. The interpretation offered in this thesis builds on …

Controls of Melt Genesis and Evolution at Buldir Volcano in the Western Aleutian Island Arc
… dacites from emergent volcanoes throughout the Aleutians often also have low abundances of middle and heavy rare-earth elements (REE's), but these characteristics are widely attributed to fractional crystallization and the removal of amphibole from mafic melts in crustal magma chambers. For this …

Field Observations and Modeling of the 1957 Earthquake and Tsunami on the Islands of the Four Mountains, Aleutian Islands, Alaska
… the characteristics of rupture in the eastern Aleutians. A recent survey of the tsunami wrackline produced by the 1957 Great Aleutian earthquake (M<sub>w</sub> 8.6) indicates runup up to 17.5 m in the Islands of the Four Mountains (presented here). Combined with other nearfield observations of …

Birds of a Feather: Cultural and Ecological Relationships between the Unangax̂ and Seabirds in the Aleutian Islands, AK
… ancestral Unangax̂ in the eastern and western Aleutians to hunt different species of birds for raw materials and food. Results from my bulk stable isotope analyses suggest that seabirds stayed relatively stable in marine food webs over the last ~4,500 years. Noting record murre (Uria spp.) …

Compressible Convection and Subduction: Kinematic and Dynamic Modeling
… of high-Mg# andesites in the western Aleutians. The results show that the localization of high-Mg# andesites is a consequence of the time-dependent convergence rate and slab age along the Aleutian arc. The influence of mantle and slab parameters as well as compressibility on the slab …
