摘要 气候变化正在影响努纳齐亚武特地区的海洋环境，导致海冰厚度和季节时间变化以及水温升高。这影响了拉布拉多因纽特人的生活，他们的文化、经济和历史与海洋空间密切相关。最近，涉及努纳齐亚乌特因纽特人社区的研究伙伴关系有所增加，为拉布拉多因纽特人参与大规模海洋研究议程创造了空间。虽然纳入拉布拉多因纽特人知识对于使研究与社区相关至关重要，但将其与海洋学科学知识结合起来存在挑战，因为两者都源于独特的本体论，有时具有不同的价值观、规模和理解语言。边界工作提供了一个镜头来分析边界物体如何促进拉布拉多因纽特人知识与海洋学研究之间的联系。本研究通过分析代表拉布拉多因纽特人海洋特征知识的联合制作地图，对这一主题进行了概念性探索，这些地图作为数据，随后应用于海洋学研究问题。将这些地图作为边界对象展示了它们在将因纽特人知识调动到科学方法中的效用，承认无法在空间上呈现的知识的局限性。
ABSTRACT Climate change is affecting the marine environment in Nunatsiavut, leading to changing sea ice thickness and seasonal timing, and increasing water temperatures. This impacts the lives of Labrador Inuit, whose culture, economy, and history are deeply tied to marine spaces. Recently, research partnerships involving Inuit communities in Nunatsiavut have increased, creating space for Labrador Inuit in large scale marine research agendas. While including Labrador Inuit knowledge is critical for making research relevant to communities, there are challenges to engaging it alongside oceanographic scientific knowledge, as both stem from unique ontologies, at times having different values, scales, and languages of understanding. Boundary work offers a lens to analyze how boundary objects can foster connections between Labrador Inuit knowledge and oceanographic research. This research offers a conceptual exploration of this subject through analysing the co-production of maps representing Labrador Inuit knowledge of ocean features which, as data, were then applied in oceanographic research problems. Framing these maps as boundary objects demonstrates their utility in mobilizing Inuit knowledge into scientific approaches, acknowledging limitations with respect to knowledge that cannot be spatially rendered.
