Understanding regional heterogeneity in energy systems and energy affordability: A polar paradox in Arctic Alaska
Fossil fuel extraction plays a major role in Alaska's economy, with taxes and royalties paid by oil producers contributing significantly to revenue at the state and local levels. This dependence on the fossil fuel industry leaves the state and its communities vulnerable to global and regional changes in energy prices. Meanwhile, remote communities in Arctic Alaska face persistent residential energy insecurity due to high fuel prices despite the s…
Exploration of Racial Dynamics and Climate Change Experience: Insights from Underrepresented Communities in Interior Alaska
The engaging underrepresented voices (EUVs) in climate research project is an exploratory study into factors at the intersection of climate change and race, as well as their potential relationships to racial disparities affecting Asian Pacific Islander Desi American (APIDA), and Black residents of interior Alaska. Nationally, minority communities have been shown to suffer disproportionate effects of pollution and other forms of environmental chan…
Indigenous spirituality surrounding Serianthes trees in Micronesia: Traditional practice, conservation, and resistance
Spiritual connections to the natural world are fundamental to Micronesian worldviews. Structured interviews gathered ethnoecological information about Serianthes. The kosmos-corpus-praxis conceptual framework analyzed spirituality surrounding this leguminous tree and its connection with Indigenous cosmology, traditional knowledge, and practices. We can summarize the results as follows: (a) interspecies relationships expressed through rituals and …
Scenarios development with Alaska’s Arctic Indigenous youth: Perceptions of healthy sustainable futures in the Northwest Arctic Borough
How do arctic youth perceive the resilience of their communities? Many of today’s high school students in Arctic Alaska will takeup leadership roles in their communities in the next decade. The social-environmental changes these communities face are disruptive andpose challenges to local governance now and into the future. Arctic Futures Makers (AFM) was a scenarios workshop of 22 Alaska Indigenoushigh school students convened over two days in Fe…

The human geography of Arctic sea ice: Introduction
Research across disciplines affiliated with geophysical, biological, and engineering sciences has created important informative models of the annual sea ice cycle, ice-dependent species, and struct
Connecting scientific observations to stakeholder needs in sea ice social–environmental systems: The institutional geography of northern Alaska
The institutions governing sea ice system services in the Arctic are associated with particular places, species, and environments. Yet scholars rarely consider the way these associations may present barriers to, or facilitate, effective translation of scientific data into broadly available information for stakeholders to create and debate policy. In light of rapidly changing arctic environments how can data best be collected and disseminated to a…
Evaluating Comanagement for Social-Ecological Fit: Indigenous Priorities and Agency Mandates for Pacific Walrus
Governance arrangements such as comanagement are regarded by many as promising arenas for effective natural resource management. However, measuring comanagement's success at achieving conservation goals has been equivocal. Our research evaluates the lack of conclusive outcomes through a critical consideration of how different goals and values inherent in comanagement affect the institutional (or policy) diagnostic of "fit." More narrowly, sustain…
Sea-Ice System Services: A Framework to Help Identify and Meet Information Needs Relevant for Observing Networks
The need for data from an Arctic observing network to help stakeholders with planning and action is generally recognized. Two key research concerns arise: (1) potential contrasts between fundamental and applied science in the design of an observing system, and (2) development of best practices to ensure that stakeholder needs both inform and can be met from such an observing system. We propose a framework based on the concept of sea-ice system se…
Growth and Collapse of a Resource System: An Adaptive Cycle of Change in Public Lands Governance and Forest Management in Alaska

Transnational Environmental Management: U.S.-Canadian Institutions at the Interlocal Scale
Salmon know no borders or boundaries. The representatives from both countries recognized this fact, and had the wisdom to fashion an agreement to work for the good of the resource and its users in Alaska and Canada. U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Alaska Director Dave Allen Canada, the United States, and Mexico manage their environments through federal and subnational government institutions. These three North American neighbors also have each neg…
Bridging the Biophysical and Social in Transboundary Water Governance: Québec and its Neighbors
Simulations and Role Playing (S&RP) I Track Summary
Undergraduates often have difficulty conceptualizing phenomena for which they have little experience, such as life in an Islamic state or the pressures of foreign policy decision making. The participants of the S&RP Track I explored multiple ways political science might address this challenge. While the exercises employed by participants differed, the desire to help students experientially learn key concepts and materials provided the central mot…
Interlocal Rules and Democracy in the Administration of Cross-Border Policy Communities
The management of contiguous transboundary ecological commons presents a complicated nexus in which at least two forms of governance and culture characterize and attempt to solve commonly shared environmental problems. Two nations with a long history of cross-border environmental cooperation are Canada and the United States. However, the evolution of effective transboundary management of water policy has been hampered by an inadequate understandi…
