A model of the origins and development of Aleut
It has long been thought that Unangam Tunuu (Aleut) must have undergone substantial language contact at some point, given its divergent lexicon, features seemingly shared with Dene languages, and a single feature shared with Eyak, Tlingit, and Haida. To date, however, the nature of prehistoric language contact event(s) has remained unclear. Collaboration between the authors has resulted in a cohesive model of language contact mechanisms, together…
The micromorphology of loess‐paleosol sequences in central Alaska
The middle Tanana Valley of central Alaska contains a well‐preserved record of human occupation and paleoenvironmental change since the Late Glacial period (c. 16,000 cal yr BP) and is a critical region for understanding human dispersal into the Americas. Micromorphology analysis of soils and sediments from six archaeological sites yields valuable information about soil formation processes and landscape evolution during the Late Glacial and into …
Revisiting the Timing of the Northern Lobe of the White River Ash Volcanic Event in Eastern Alaska and Western Yukon
The northern lobe of the White River Ash (WRAn) is part of a bilobate distribution of tephras that originated from the Wrangell Volcanic Field near the border of Alaska, USA, and Yukon, Canada. It is distributed across northeastern Alaska and the northwestern portion of the Yukon. The timing of this eruption has seen little critical analysis relative to the younger and more extensive eastern lobe eruption of the White River Ash. We compiled 38 ra…
Three-Phase Machines and Drives—Equipment for a Laboratory-Based Course
The hazards associated with high-voltage three-phase inverters and high-powered large electrical machines have resulted in most of the engineering courses covering three-phase machines and drives theoretically. This paper describes a set of purpose-built, low-voltage, and low-cost teaching equipment that allows the hands-on instruction of three-phase inverters and rotating machines. The motivation for moving towards a system running at low voltag…
