Doctoral Dissertation Research: Driftwood as a Resource: Modeling Fuelwood Harvesting Strategies in the Gulf of Alaska

这是一篇研究浮木作为生存战略中的燃料的论文提案。利用考古证据、当代和历史漂流木调查以及人种学访谈，Copi将调查科迪亚克群岛的薪材供应和收获策略。此外，研究人员还建议评估气候变化、资源萧条和伐木对薪材采伐的可能影响。除了研究之外，该项目还通过教育项目将当地学生纳入研究中，这一点堪称典范。

ABSTRACTOPP#0425349This is a dissertation proposal to study the acquisition of driftwood as a fuel in subsistence strategies. Using archaeological evidence, contemporary and historic driftwood surveys, and ethnographic interviews the CoPI will investigate fuelwood availability and harvesting strategies in the Kodiak archipelago. In addition the researchers propose to evaluate the possible impacts of climate change, resource depression and logging, on fuelwood harvesting. In addition to the research, the project is exemplary in its inclusion of local students in the research through education projects.
