Climate in northern regions is expected to change dramatically in the coming decades. Climate research has developed tools to predict long-range change and to evaluate the uncertainty in these predictions. It is possible that these research products could potentially play a role in regional and local decision making. However, communities may have alternate approches to dealing with climate events and climate change, approaches that may not link to predicitive research products. This Small Grant for Exploratory Research would conduct interviews and small conferences with residents of the Alaskan North Slope communities. These gatherings will be used (1) to evaluate the understanding by individuals within these communities about climate events, (2) to determine what policies or actions they take to adapt to or mitigate climate events, and (3) to examine whether their culture institutions can incorporate predictive research products.

在接下来的几十年里，北方地区的气候预计将发生巨大变化。气候研究已经开发出工具来预测长期变化，并评估这些预测中的不确定性。这些研究产品有可能在区域和地方决策中发挥作用。然而，社区可能有应对气候事件和气候变化的替代方法，这些方法可能与预测性研究产品无关。这笔用于探索性研究的小额赠款将与阿拉斯加北坡社区的居民进行访谈和小型会议。这些聚会将被用来(1)评估这些社区中的个人对气候事件的理解，(2)确定他们为适应或缓解气候事件而采取的政策或行动，以及(3)检查他们的文化机构是否可以纳入预测性研究产品。
