About this opportunity

This announcement is to provide public notice of the National Park Service (NPS), intention to fund the following project with University of Alaska Fairbanks under a Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) program. CESUs are partnerships that provide research, technical assistance, and education. The project intended award is $95,561.00 in 2014. This is a continuation of an existing agreement, number P11AC90458 (P11AT36145)ending on 12/31/2015. STATUTORY AUTHORITY: Agreements Concerning Cooperative Research and Training on NPS Resources (16 § 1a-2(j)): The Secretary may enter into agreements with public or private educational institutions, States and their political subdivisions, for the purpose of developing research and training programs concerning the resources of the National Park System, and pursuant to such agreements, to accept from and make available to the cooperator such technical and support staff, financial assistance for mutually agreed upon research projects, supplies and administrative services relating to cooperative research units as the Secretary deems appropriate. STATEMENT OF JOINT OBJECTIVES/PROJECT MANAGEMENT PLAN: The peopling of the New World has become one of the most popular sagas of world history, capturing the attention of not only the scientific community, but indigenous communities, management agencies, and the public at large. Recent genetic, linguistic and archaeological research suggests that the Pacific Coast of North America served as one access corridor for the peopling of the New World. Researchers have posited that a contiguous environmental band, extending from Alaska to South America, facilitated migration of ancestral peoples from Asia throughout North and South America. However, our understanding of the exact location of ancient shorelines, prevailing environmental conditions, resource availability, and coastal habitation sites has been hampered by lack of, or poorly collated, data. Those data that exist are typically unpublished and/or scattered and are largely unavailable to the American public. The primary purpose of this agreement is to develop a model of Glacier Bay National Park¿s ancient coastline by collating extant data and conducting field tests to further validate existing theories of shoreline location and morphology. This project will bring together seasoned field researchers to search existing literature, compile scattered data, and conduct field tests to validate the premises of the analysis.The purpose of this project is to develop a model of Glacier Bay¿s ancestral coastline such that the scientific and public understanding of migration routes, settlement patterns, indigenous community kinship patterns, traditional resource uses, disease etymology, etc. is enhanced. At a local level, understanding the ancient coastal morphology and environment of Glacier Bay may assist the Tlingit nation with numerous ongoing ancestral heritage issues including locating village sites, resolving clan territorial claims, and validating and preserving oral tradition. The data compiled by this study will also identify a highly significant ecological and cultural park resource, and will make it available to better understand global climate change. Importantly, Glacier Bay National Park attracts thousands of annual visitors annually, many of whom are drawn by the areas dynamic geological history. The results of this study will be made available to international travelers interested in learning more about glaciology and ancestral human history.The successful completion of this project involves a substantial degree of cooperation between the National Park Service and the UAF researchers. The NPS archeologist and UAF researchers will work collaboratively in the field to locate, test and document remnants of ancient landscapes.
