Indigenous ecological knowledge is one critical aspect of cultural heritage that may provide a source of resiliency, mitigation, and adaptation to the effects of climate change. Cultural heritages relevant to changes induced by climate change include diverse forms of technical knowledge and social customs for resource use (i.e. use rights or ownership). Another fundamental characteristic for cultural heritage centers on the extent to which a specific cultural heritage is transmitted in a stable fashion across generations (vertical transmission) versus shared quickly amongst a network of contacts (horizontal transmission). Vertical transmission has the advantage of preserving hard-to-discover technical information and stabilizing resource use-rights to avoid conflict, while horizontal transmission enables the diffusion of technical innovations and new social arrangements. Proposed Research The proposed transdisciplinary research will apply cultural transmission models to study the vertical and horizontal transmission dynamics of cultural heritages at four comparative study sites: Hoonah AK, Zhetysu Kazakhstan, Chiapas Mexico, and Khovd Mongolia. We will marry these socio-cultural data to ecological data on the changes in resource distributions anticipated due to climate change, and then feed back this information to study site stakeholders and partners so they can consider whether they need to alter their traditional levels of vertical versus horizontal transmission for cultural heritage to account for changes brought on by a changing climate.

土著生态知识是文化遗产的一个重要方面，可提供复原力、减缓和适应气候变化影响的来源。与气候变化引起的变化有关的文化遗产包括各种形式的技术知识和资源使用的社会习俗（即使用权或所有权）。文化遗产的另一个基本特征是，特定文化遗产在多大程度上以稳定的方式代代相传（垂直传播），而不是在接触网络中迅速分享（水平传播）。垂直传播的优势在于保存难以发现的技术信息，稳定资源使用权以避免冲突，而水平传播则使技术创新和新的社会安排得以传播。拟议的研究拟议的跨学科研究将采用文化传播模型，研究文化遗产的垂直和水平传播动态在四个比较研究地点：Hoonah AK，Zhetysu哈萨克斯坦，恰帕斯墨西哥和科布多蒙古。我们将把这些社会文化数据与由于气候变化而预期的资源分布变化的生态数据结合起来，然后将这些信息反馈给研究地点的利益相关者和合作伙伴，以便他们考虑是否需要改变文化遗产传统的垂直与水平传播水平，以应对气候变化带来的变化。
