  Insights into human survival: from the South Pacific to East Asia
  Noreen Goldman

  The first part of the talk highlights several of my early papers inspired by Nathan Keyfitz that examine the implications of mortality for a broad range of phenomena: dating a population's time of settlement; examining the impact of mortality change on life expectancy; and identifying the cause of high mortality among never-married individuals. The remainder of the talk examines one aspect of my ongoing work in biosocial surveys: the extent to which clinical and other biological markers enhance mortality prediction in older populations.
