The Rat Islands Project funding and period of active research ended nearly four years ago. Since then, we’ve published all but one final summary article, presented aspects of the research, and defended two PhD dissertations.

We applied for three years of funding for the Rat Islands project, and received one. Our team of researchers and students catalyzed that funding into longer-term interdisciplinary work that will contribute to research in the region for decades.

The Rat Islands work continues, even if sometimes in the broader western Aleutians Islands context. We look forward to sharing this new work with you in the coming years.
