Geohazards and projects of interest have been determined through a series of meetings with local Tribal government, Council, and wider community engagement. The research is steered by our Connectors and partners in each community and the data is theirs to own and use as they see fit. For more information on our data management methods and ethos, go to Data Management.
In order to better understand what sites of interest may be impacted by landslides on Hoonah's intricate road system, the Ḵutí team is conducting landslide runout analysis and modeling to identify exact locations of concern and how they may coincide with critical infrastructure or areas of cultural or subsistence importance.
The Ḵutí team has the pleasure of spending time with Hoonah's Alaska Youth Stewards in the Summers, working with local high-schoolers to install sensors and motivate local monitoring and stewardship efforts, using equipment and software developed by the OpeNs lab at Oregon State University.
