Indigenous environmental justice (EJ) movements increasingly use citizen science (CS) for environmental monitoring. This project examines how as part of CS, EJ movements strategically incorporate water science to produce new knowledge, and whether and how the incorporation of water science shapes the outlooks and capacities of Indigenous water defenders to address potential threats to Indigenous communities’ health, livelihoods, and territories.This participatory project is a collaboration between a political anthropologist, a biosystems engineer, an environmental chemist, a medical geographer, Indigenous community organizations and governments and allied-NGOs, as well as community scientists. Interviews will be conducted to examine how Indigenous EJ movements use water science to not only address development, but to also shape the knowledge, ethics, and skills of movement participants. The project supports community access to water science and environmental mapping, develops a collaborative methodology for training community scientists, provides substantial graduate student training, organizes local meetings and conferences, and shares findings with environmentalists, academics, professionals, government agencies, and international audiences.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.

土著环境正义运动越来越多地使用公民科学进行环境监测。本项目探讨了作为CS的一部分，EJ运动如何战略性地将水科学纳入产生新知识，以及水科学的纳入是否以及如何塑造土著水捍卫者的观点和能力，以解决对土著社区健康，生计和领土的潜在威胁。医学地理学家、原住民社区组织、政府和联盟非政府组织以及社区科学家。将进行采访，以研究如何土著EJ运动使用水科学，不仅解决发展，但也塑造运动参与者的知识，道德和技能。该项目支持社区获得水科学和环境测绘，开发培训社区科学家的协作方法，提供大量的研究生培训，组织当地会议，并与环保主义者，学者，专业人士，政府机构，该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并被认为值得通过使用基金会的学术价值和更广泛的影响审查标准。
