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

石油作为一种资源和社会经济力量将如何终结？接下来呢？在阿拉斯加，这些都是北方社区面临的最紧迫的问题，他们面临着红利减少、管道老化和海岸线侵蚀。这个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、环境和宇宙学目标做出反应，并设想之后的生活将如何继续。这项拟议的EAGER研究的目的是与这些利益相关者联系，调查他们对该问题的参与情况，访问现场，并确定合作伙伴，以便更好地制定一个关于阿拉斯加北部石油末端的多地点协作研究项目。EAGER的支持将使这项探索性研究能够将当地关注的问题纳入“阿拉斯加石油尽头”这一更大研究项目的设计和实施中。

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."
