Community-Led Geohazard Risk Reduction in Southeast Alaska
Community-Led Geohazard Risk Reduction in Southeast Alaska
Overview
The Ḵutí Project, named after the Tlingit word for weather (pronunciation available here), is a five-year NSF-funded initiative under the Coastlines and People (CoPe) Program, aimed at developing tools to mitigate risks associated with precipitation-induced hazards like landslides and floods in Southeast Alaska. The project involves a multidisciplinary team comprising atmospheric scientists, geoscientists, hydrologists, social scientists, and crucially, community leaders and Tribal environmental staff.
