Arctic community river workshop
Many Alaskan villages located in the Yukon-Kuskokwim (Y-K) Delta have been affected by a large number of flooding events due to torrential rains, melting snow packs, aufeis, and river ice jams. With the collaboration of members of the local community, we will design community-based mitigation and adaptive strategies for river flooding and erosion.
Community members are invited to join us in Bethel at the Yupiit Piciryarait Cultural Center on August 21, 2022 from 9 AM to 4 PM for a workshop where we will discuss community concerns. The goal of this workshop is to collaborate with you to address impacts to infrastructure and daily life from flooding and erosion.
This research project is funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF). To learn more about NSF’s Navigating the New Arctic (NNA) program, please go this website.
