UAV-Based Remote Sensing for Managing Alaskan Native Heritage Landscapes in the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta

Abstract: The Yukon-Kuskokwim (Y-K) Delta is home to the Alaskan Native Yup’ik people who have inhabited this remote, subarctic tundra for over 1500 years. Today, their ancestral lifeways and cultural landscapes are at risk from severe climate change-related threats. In turn, we propose that remote sensing technologies, particularly with sensors mounted on Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) platforms, are uniquely suited for protecting Yup’ik landscape heritage. Based on collaborative, community-based fieldwork in Quinhagak,… Show more

“…In the United States and beyond, there will be an increasing push toward data accessibility for both funders and the public while dealing with (and sometimes despite) stakeholders’ desires (Cohen et al 2020; Fernandez-Diaz 2018; Lim et al 2022). Fostering data sovereignty requires engagement throughout the trajectory of research, and it requires creative thinking.…”

“…Recent urban expansion coupled with the impacts of climate change have created a need for enhanced methods of monitoring and managing sustainable city developments, In climate change research, UAVs are emerging as a valuable tool for monitoring environmental impacts through flexible high-resolution aerial mapping, and have been deployed in multiple climate change research domains, as shown in Figure 10, as exemplified by a case study conducted in the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta region of Alaska [128]. The researchers implemented multi-sensor-equipped UAVs to autonomously survey and map the challenging terrain, acquiring high-resolution visible, multispectral, and thermal infrared images.…”

“…Indeed, by integrating LEK within a more traditional geospatial methodology, including data collection, analysis, and accuracy assessments, more nuanced and customized ecological monitoring programs can be crafted [18]. Coupling UAS technology with LEK has primarily focused on terrestrial applications, with accuracy assessment through LEK proving as accurate as those gathered by professional scientists, but with lower operational costs and more detailed, nuanced perspectives [39,40]. Likewise, ocean-and coral-reef-focused monitoring can improve when combined with the perspectives of local experts to improve monitoring efforts and create more effective and sustainable approaches by combining methodologies [41].…”
