Inter-regional comparative research on the human dimensions of global environmental change is important but underdeveloped. This project is an exploratory research project to conduct an initial comparison between high latitudes (Alaska) and high altitudes (Nepal) with regard to the nature and impacts of climate change, particularly through changes to the cryosphere (glaciers in Nepal; sea ice, permafrost, and glaciers in Alaska). Both regions are experiencing rapid environmental change, with significant impacts and potential impacts on indigenous peoples and traditional practices. The project entails a series of exploratory research site visits between Nepalese and Alaska scientists in order to create a comparative framework from which to investigate the impacts of global climate change.

关于全球环境变化人类维度的区域间比较研究很重要，但不发达。该项目是一个探索性研究项目，旨在就气候变化的性质和影响，尤其是通过变化（尼泊尔的冰川；尼泊尔的冰川；海冰，permafrost和阿拉斯加的冰川）对高纬度（阿拉斯加）和高海拔（尼泊尔）之间的初步比较。这两个地区都经历了迅速的环境变化，对土著人民和传统实践产生了重大影响和潜在影响。该项目需要在尼泊尔和阿拉斯加科学家之间进行一系列探索性研究地点访问，以创建一个比较框架，以研究全球气候变化的影响。
