The proposed project is an international partnership of interdisciplinary archaeology, paleobiology and paleoenvironment research in the Central Aleutian Islands, Alaska. The proposed goals of the research are to understand coupled natural and human systems during the Holocene by exploring questions of "A) how human cultures and behavior have been shaped by Holocene climatic, biotic and geologic change; and B) how human cultures have used and shaped biotic environments." The PIs propose that in order to understand the broad scope changes occurring in the contemporary Aleutian archipelago, e.g., global warming, decline in sea mammal and fish populations, and resultant economic impacts, it is necessary to have comprehensive research on long-term human-environment interactions that the proposed research on the Holocene can provide. In addition, the PIs are proposing an innovative hands-on science education project with Adak students, "Adak Discovery."

拟议的项目是阿拉斯加阿留申群岛中部跨学科考古学、古生物学和古环境研究的国际伙伴关系。 该研究的目标是通过探索以下问题来了解全新世期间耦合的自然和人类系统：A）全新世气候，生物和地质变化如何塑造人类文化和行为;以及B）人类文化如何使用和塑造生物环境。“PI建议，为了了解当代阿留申群岛发生的广泛变化，例如，由于全球变暖、海洋哺乳动物和鱼类数量减少以及由此产生的经济影响，有必要对拟议的全新世研究所能提供的长期人类-环境相互作用进行全面研究。 此外，PI还提出了一个创新的实践科学教育项目，与阿达克学生，“阿达克发现。"
