Post-volcanic Landscape Change and Human Response in the Chignik and Meshik Rivers Region, Alaska: The purpose of this research project is to develop and apply methodologies for the study and understanding of landscape change (including coastal geomorphology) driven by volcanism, sea-level change, and erosion, and how this change contributed to human cultural evolution in southwest Alaska. This project will provide important comparative data for social scientists, biologists, and historical ecologists working specifically in southwest Alaska, and more generally, for scholars, managers, and policy makers concerned with the lasting effects of natural catastrophe on social, cultural, and biological evolution.

Additional Information on Eligibility
This is a "Notice of Intent" of a single source task agreement award to Antioch University New England, Keene, NH, under the Great Lakes Northern Forest Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). PI has worked in NW Alaska and for the NPS first as an archaeologist and then a geomorphologist since 1986. PI's M.A. thesis, Late Holocene development of barrier islands in the southern Chukchi Sea, Alaska, focused upon shoreline processes immediately to the south of the project area at Cape Krusenstern. As a graduate student PI participated in NPS archaeological surveys of Cape Krusenstern and established the first coastal erosion monitoring stations there. PI has several published papers focusing on the coastal geomorphology of coastal western Alaska, including the Seward Peninsula and the Alaska Peninsula. PI is a noted expert in coastal change resulting from tectonic uplift, subsidence, and volcanism, and has published widely on how these processes have altered the western Alaska Peninsula. PI is thus very familiar with the project area and PI's backgrounds in both archaeology and geomorphology suit PI exceptionally well to integrate the geology with the larger, archaeological component of the project.
