Collaborative Research: The Ends of Oil: Changing Life in Earth Science, Extractive Industry, and Indigenous Communities in Alaska

石油作为一种资源以及社会和经济力量将如何终结？接下来会发生什么呢？在阿拉斯加，这些是北方社区面临的一些最紧迫的问题，这些社区面临着红利减少、管道老化和海岸线侵蚀的问题。这一探索性研究项目将考察各种利益相关者--地球科学家、石油公司、州政策制定者和阿拉斯加原住民--如何对阿拉斯加石油的财政、基础设施、环境和宇宙目的做出反应，并展望未来生活可能如何继续。这项拟议的热切研究的目的是与这些利益相关者联系，调查他们对这一问题的参与情况，访问现场，并寻找合作伙伴，以便更好地制定一项关于阿拉斯加北部石油末端的协作、多地点研究项目。热切的支持将使这项探索性研究能够将当地的关切纳入到一个更大的研究项目的设计和实施中，该项目的主题是“阿拉斯加的石油尽头”。

How does oil as a resource and social and economic force end? And what comes next? In Alaska, these are some of the most pressing questions for northern communities facing dwindling dividends, aging pipelines, and eroding coastlines. This exploratory research project will examine how a variety of stakeholders - earth scientists, oil companies, state policy-makers, and Alaska Native peoples - are each responding to the fiscal, infrastructural, environmental, and cosmological ends of oil in Alaska and envisioning how life might carry on afterwards.The aim of this proposed EAGER research is to make contact with these stakeholders, survey their engagements with the issue, visit field sites, and identify partners in order to better craft a collaborative, multi-sited research project on the ends of oil in northern Alaska. EAGER support will enable this exploratory research to incorporate local concerns into the design and implementation of a larger research project on "the Ends of Oil in Alaska."
