Core themes include extreme events and impacts and capacity building in support of Tribal resilience. In the extreme events work, the team will use an integrated approach that brings t ogether social science, climate science, and local expertise to: a) documen t socio-economic impacts of extreme climate and weather events in Alaska; b ) engage practitioners to determine and meet information needs; and c) anal yze historical and projected changes in extreme event occurrences to inform policy and decision-making. 

The work also aims to support Tribal resilience by: a) bridging commun ity-level climate adaptation planning and implementation with workforce and economic development; b) investigating and supporting boundary spanning an d knowledge co-production between Alaska Native communities and climate and related researchers; c) innovating evaluation methodology and elevating In digenous evaluation of climate-related knowledge co-production and climate adaptation. New outreach and engagement activities include assessment produ cts that encompass societal impacts and adaptation, training for students a nd postdoctoral fellows, online course development, and enhanced convening activities with a focus on serving the needs of policy-makers, Alaska Nativ e Peoples, tribes, and organizations throughout the state.
