This doctoral dissertation research investigates the decision-making, motivations, and variations amongst local and indigenous communities in the management of land and other natural resources. It specifically examines how local communities build and adapt sustainable solutions to changing environmental and political conditions. The dissertation research project trains a graduate student in methods of scientific data collection and analysis. Findings will be disseminated in various public venues to help the public understand the ways local and diverse communities and their needs can be included in adaptations to global energy and resource transitions. To analyze how and why various stakeholders in local communities manage natural resources and decision-making the investigators use systematic spatial land-mapping, geological data, impact assessments, and ethnographic methods. Findings from this study contribute to the scholarship in environmental anthropology, studies of land use, and geology.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.

该博士论文研究调查了当地和土著社区在土地和其他自然资源管理方面的决策，动机和变化。它具体探讨了当地社区如何建立和适应不断变化的环境和政治条件的可持续解决方案。 论文研究项目训练研究生科学数据收集和分析的方法。调查结果将在各种公共场所传播，以帮助公众了解如何将地方和不同社区及其需求纳入适应全球能源和资源转型的工作。为了分析当地社区的各种利益相关者如何以及为什么管理自然资源和决策，调查人员使用系统的空间土地测绘，地质数据，影响评估和人种学方法。这项研究的发现有助于环境人类学、土地利用研究和地质学的学术研究。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
