The University of 色视频下载 Fairbanks Oral History Program and the National Park Service have created a series of web articles to highlight June 8.
The articles, "," focus on changing ice and ocean conditions and other climate change impacts seen by long-term residents and NPS 色视频下载 Region employees in the coastal communities of Skagway and Nome.
UAF色视频下载檚 Project Jukebox recorded conversations in 2018-2019 with more than 20 people who live and work in these two distinct coastal areas. The conversations revealed both similarities and differences in how people in the far-flung locations experience the impacts of climate change on weather, the seasons, ice conditions, permafrost, vegetation and wildlife.
People with deep connections to the land and sea around them are key witnesses to environmental change. Their observations are essential for building a broader understanding of the past, how things are changing, the effects on people, and how to plan for future adaptation. Documenting traditional local knowledge is also critical to interpreting previously collected scientific data.
