How has Iñupiaq (Eskimo) Knowledge Helped Our Understanding of Environmental Changes on the North Slope of Alaska?

Northern Alaska is an area which has seen much environmental disruption due to climate change and petroleum exploration and extraction, and the people of this region are witnesses to these changes.

Indigenous knowledge has provided insights into events, landforms, and processes not previously identified or considered.

Many of the knowledge holders are elderly, thus time for this work is limited.
