This $305,340 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides support for U.S. researchers participating in a multinational Belmont Forum initiative on global change research. The project aims to investigate how indigenous ecological knowledge and technical knowledge can be leveraged as sources of resilience, mitigation, and adaptation to climate change effects. Key activities include developing transdisciplinary research approaches, fostering international collaboration, and contributing to global knowledge on biocultural adaptation of resource management traditions. The project will work with communities in Alaska, Kazakhstan, Mexico, and Mongolia to analyze socio-cultural and ecological data for informing local adaptation strategies. A sub-award totaling an unspecified amount will be provided to the Hoonah Indian Association, a federally recognized tribal government in Alaska, to contribute its expertise in local ecosystems and traditional ecological knowledge. The award period is from Jul 15, 2024 to Jun 30, 2027.
