Summary

Here we present preliminary planning work to inform village and regional decision making on mitigation and adaptation strategies. This work has been completed in collaboration with communities on the Kuskokwim River between 2021 and 2022, with the goal of co-generating a research design and approach for a multi-site study integrating local knowledge, Indigenous science, and western science.
