Shageluk
is a traditional Deg Xinag Athabaskan community. It has
been on the Innoko River for countless generations. The
last village on the river. Native
villagers have observed changes in the river/lake ice freeze-up
and break-up dates. They have noticed changes in vegetation and boreal
forest around the village. How might these changes affect
their lives?
The students are
happy to be involved in a project that tracks lake ice
thickness,
snow
densities,
and conductive heat flow in efforts to show global environmental
change.
