Changes in Geyser Eruption Behavior and Remotely Triggered Seismicity in Yellowstone National Park Produced by the 2002 M 7.9 Denali Fault Earthquake, Alaska

Mount Sanford…Errrr, Mount Jarvis. Wait, What?? Mount Who?? It Was Roughly Around Thanksgiving 2016 and the Time Had Come Fo
Mount Sanford…errrr, Mount Jarvis. Wait, what?? Mount Who?? It was roughly around Thanksgiving 2016 and the time had come for me to book my next IMG adventure. With two young children at home and no family close by, I had settled into a routine of doing a big climb every other year. This year was a bit different, as I normally book my major climbs around September for an April or May departure the following year. However, due to a Mt. Blackburn (Alaska) trip falling through, I had to book another expedition. In 2015, I was on an IMG team that summitted Mt. Bona from the north side, not the original plan (jot that down – this will become a theme in Alaska), and really enjoyed the solitude, adventure, physical challenge, small team, and lack of schedule the Wrangell & St Elias Mountains had to offer. So, I hopped on IMG’s website, checked out the scheduled Alaskan climb for 2017, which was Mt. Sanford, and peppered George with my typical questions. Everything lined up, so I completed the pile of paperwork (do I really have to sign another waiver?!?), sent in my deposit (still no AMEX, ugh…), set my training schedule, and started Googling trip reports about Mt. Sanford. Little did I know that READING about Mt. Sanford was the closest I would ever get to it! Pulling from my previous Alaskan climbing experience, I was better prepared for this trip than for Mt Bona in 2015. Due to our bush pilot’s inability to safely land us on the south side of Bona two years prior, we flew up, around, and over the mountain and landed on the north side. -

Fifteen years ago wolves were released into Yellowstone Park. They have since established range outside the park and been embroiled in controversy. Do you think their presence is appropriate?

·Mexican Trilogy, 1963
MEXICAN TRILOGY, 1963 • · MEXICAN TRILOGY, 1963 (Ixtaccihuatl, 5,286 m., Popocatepetl, 5,452 m., Citlaltepetl (Pico de Orizaba), 5,700 m.) BY MARIO FANTIN (Translated from the Italian by C. M. D. Eales) (Four illustrations: nos. IO- IJ) EXICO is a country of contrasts and also of surprises in the field of alpinism. Surprises of a very marked character, which re veal an unexpected enthusiasm for mountaineering in a country which because it is habitually wrongly described, is imagined by all of us to be inhabited by a quiet and fatalistic people, apparently quite un adapted to the difficulties of mountaineering. On the contrary, the Mexicans are very sporting; and a very large number of them climb mountains with a total and almost fanatical dedication. In this field · the Mexicans give us a lesson which should provide us with serious food for thought: their enthusiasm has brought about a programme of hut construction which in my opinion is quite without parallel in the mountaineering world. There are only twelve high mountain huts in Mexico, serving the three highest mountains: one on the Pico de Orizaba, two on Popocate petl, nine on Ixtaccihuatl. They have been built by a group of a hundred mountaineers, called the Group of One Hundred, who each year con tribute 100 pesos ( = s,ooo Lire) and supply materials and transporta tion, themselves doing all the construction work and all the carrying, either on their own shoulders or on mules. There are a hundred of them, from all the cities of Mexico, who have undertaken this work with admirable personal initiative a work which neither the Government nor any other public or private institution could have undertaken. -
The Diet of Sovereignty: Bioarchaeology in Tlaxcallan
THE DIET OF SOVEREIGNTY: BIOARCHAEOLOGY IN TLAXCALLAN By Keitlyn Alcantara-Russell Dissertation Submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Vanderbilt University In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY In Anthropology August 7th, 2020 Nashville, Tennessee Approved: Tiffiny Tung, Ph.D. William Fowler, Ph.D. Carwil Bjork-James, Ph.D. Edward Wright-Rios, Ph.D. Copyright © 2020 by Keitlyn Alcantara-Russell All Rights Reserved ii DEDICATION To the past version of me who never dreamed I could do this. To the Frankensteined pieces and parts sewn together from my parents’ (and big sister’s) own journeys and struggles, the moments where we didn’t think we could, and then we did anyway. To the recycled genes of grandparents and ancestors, whose loves and hurts shaped my drive to understand. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Preliminary field reconnaissance was funded by a Tinker Foundation Field Research Grant from the Center for Latin American Studies at Vanderbilt University. Fieldwork was funded by a Summer Research Award from the College of Arts and Sciences at Vanderbilt University, a Fulbright-García Robles Research Grant, and a Wenner Gren Foundation Dissertation Fieldwork Grant (#9448: The Diet of Sovereignty: Bioarchaeology in Tlaxcallan). Subsequent field and lab work was supported by Summer Research Awards from the College of Arts and Sciences and the Anthropology Department at Vanderbilt University, and a Russell G. Hamilton Graduate Leadership Institute Dissertation Enhancement Grant to support Ethnographic fieldwork. The public-facing aspects of my research were supported by a Public Scholar Fellowship from the Curb Center for Art, Enterprise and Public Policy at Vanderbilt, and an Imagining America Publicly Active Graduate Education (PAGE) fellowship and co- directorship. -
