The annual Western Alaska Interdisciplinary Science Conference aims to bring together local and Indigenous knowledge of subsistence-based communities and other scientific research relevant to Western Alaska, including economic, ecological, social and health issues important to rural communities. This is the fourth time WAISC will be held in Dillingham. This year’s conference focuses on the future threats and opportunities in the face of a changing climate.
This is an opportunity to share your work in Western Alaska with colleagues and the Bristol Bay region. Abstracts related to Western Alaska from any scientific disciplinary background are welcome, whether the work is empirical or theoretical, and including fisheries, sustainable energy, mining, rural education, waste management, climate change and more.
