项目摘要

The objective of the proposed research is to examine the history of conservation and restoration efforts for three iconic migratory species of the north: woodland caribou, coaster brook trout, and common loons. All three species have been the focus of decades of restoration efforts, yet all three remain at risk in northern landscapes. The project seeks to understand what we can learn from past efforts at understanding and managing migratory species, with the ultimate goal of contributing to more sustainable strategies in the Anthropocene. Although project is located within the upper Great Lakes basin, it is expected to generate results that will provide insights for other scientific and regulatory contexts, particularly those that concern extractive industries and their effects on migratory species. Broader impact activities will include a professionally-designed website; educational activities with Indigenous communities and the Great Lakes Research Center including a webinar and presentations at a public information session; and media outreach activities including interviews on regional and national podcasts and radio broadcasts.This is a project to engage in interdisciplinary research; specifically, it adds new dimensions to environmental history and STS by incorporating spatial considerations. The PI and her collaborator will examine the recent emergence of movement ecology as a science, analyzing the ways new military technologies allowed migrating wildlife to be tracked and thereby making the invisible visible. They will then analyze ways that emerging infrastructures of the Anthropocene threaten persistence of the migratory species that are becoming newly visible. Methods from spatial history will enable them to visualize and analyze ways that the mobility of wildlife, extractive industries, and contaminants influenced efforts to conceptualize and then manage migratory species. To spatial history, they will integrate STS tools of discourse analysis, enabling them to analyze ways that government agencies negotiated growing pressures from extractive industries to open boreal watersheds for development. The project will combine ecology, environmental history, and broad STS approaches in an integrative research project that will serve to advance each of these fields.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

拟议的研究的目的是研究保护和恢复努力的三个标志性的北方迁徙物种的历史：林地驯鹿，海岸溪鳟鱼，和常见的潜鸟。这三个物种都是几十年来恢复工作的重点，但在北方的景观中，这三个物种仍然处于危险之中。该项目旨在了解我们可以从过去理解和管理迁徙物种的努力中学到什么，最终目标是为人类世的更可持续战略做出贡献。虽然该项目位于五大湖盆地上游，但预计将产生的结果将为其他科学和监管背景提供见解，特别是那些涉及采掘业及其对迁徙物种的影响的科学和监管背景。更广泛的影响活动将包括一个专业设计的网站;与土著社区和五大湖研究中心开展的教育活动，包括一次网络研讨会和在一次新闻发布会上的介绍;媒体外联活动，包括在区域和国家播客和电台广播中进行采访。具体地说，它通过纳入空间考虑，为环境历史和STS增加了新的维度。PI和她的合作者将研究最近出现的运动生态学作为一门科学，分析新的军事技术允许跟踪迁徙的野生动物的方式，从而使不可见的可见。然后，他们将分析人类世的新兴基础设施如何威胁到新出现的迁徙物种的持久性。从空间历史的方法将使他们能够可视化和分析的方式，野生动物，采掘业和污染物的流动性影响的努力，概念化，然后管理迁徙物种。空间历史，他们将整合话语分析的STS工具，使他们能够分析政府机构谈判的方式越来越大的压力，从采掘业开放北方流域的发展。该项目将结合联合收割机生态学，环境历史和广泛的STS方法在一个综合研究项目，将有助于推进这些领域的每一个。这个奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并已被认为是值得通过评估使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准的支持。
