Abstract:
... Archaeological sites are recognized as sources of data about past cultures. Their value as information sources about past environmental conditions and processes, as well as socio-natural systems is described, emphasizing benefits for disciplines beyond archaeology.Just as new techniques are expanding what we can learn from them, the sites and their preserved data are in imminent danger of destruct ...

Abstract:
... Beach ridges and spits along the north-facing coast of the Chukchi Sea record paleo-storm history during the 1st millennium AD, correlative with a widespread global cooling climate episode. Northwest Alaska is a sensitive proxy owing to its absence of tectonism, glacio-isostasy, and a low rate of eustatic sea level rise. Four locales provide a regional transect and detailed chronologies: north-fac ...

Abstract:
... Alaska Native children, including children of Yup’ik descent, consume large volumes of sugar-sweetened fruit drinks, which contain added sugars that contribute to obesity, diabetes, and dental caries. To date, taste preference evaluations have not been conducted on commercially available sugar-free fruit drinks.The study tested the hypothesis that children would have equal preference for sugar-fre ...

This work examines where these estimates are most effective at de ...

Abstract:
... Commercial fishery participants in Alaska are increasing in age, and the next generation of fishermen faces numerous, complex barriers to entry into the industry. Although these barriers are now widely recognized, what remains to be seen is whether or not the youngest generation of coastal residents will choose place-based fishing livelihoods. In this study, we surveyed seventh through 12th grade ...

In this study, female yelloweye rockfish from Prince Will ...

Abstract:
... Sablefish Anoplopoma fimbria support a lucrative fishery in the Gulf of Alaska, but their numbers have been declining despite a regulated fishery. Recruitment in A. fimbria is poorly understood due to its unusual early life history relative to many other deep-water fishes. Developmental patterns can identify critical periods during ontogeny that influence foraging and swimming abilities among indi ...
