Abstract
Description
This project will assess erosion mitigation and adaption methods in Kotzebue as the communityās vulnerability increases from the degrading natural systems. Developing a conceptual plan may promote the opportunities that prioritize short-to mid-term erosion mitigation and improve other subsistent relationships between culture and the landscape. This proposal requires a thorough understanding of the dynamic Arctic landscape and systems of the Kotzebue Sound, the communityās subsistence with the landscape, and deeply rooted cultural traditions. Understanding these factors will promote a design that
achieves the goal and visually communicates ideas for the community.
