Jon Ignatowski

In the summer of 2011, I traveled to Shaktoolik and Savoonga to survey members in each community about the impacts climate change has had on their subsistence lifestyle in an effort to build a base of Traditional Ecological Knowledge. With their candid perceptions and TEK, Dr. Rosales and I wrote a peer-reviewed article titled, “Identifying the Exposure of Two Subsistence Villages in Alaska to Climate Change Using Traditional Ecological Knowledge”.
