Opportunity Information: Apply for P17AS00312
The National Park Service (NPS) is offering a grant opportunity focused on conducting geophysical sub-surface resource surveys in Alaska's national parks. The main goal is to identify and preserve cultural resources, particularly buried archaeological sites, through the use of Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) technology. This method allows for the detection of cultural materials beneath the surface without disturbing the sites, which is vital for park managers overseeing projects that may affect these resources.
Several parks have expressed interest in these surveys to enhance understanding of their archaeological resources. For example, Lake Clark National Park wants to locate human burials and archaeological deposits in high visitor areas, while Cape Krusenstern National Monument is examining permafrost's impact on cultural deposits due to climate change. Other parks, such as Bering Land Bridge and Denali, are focusing on detailed studies of specific archaeological features and grave plots. Sitka National Historic Park intends to identify historical fort structures using GPR.
The collaboration between Cornell University and NPS aims to achieve specific objectives, including utilizing various geophysical techniques to identify cultural features at differing depths in the parks, producing comprehensive reports with maps and interpretations, and developing materials for both public interest and academic research.
The project is expected to benefit the public by enhancing understanding of human adaptation to Alaska's past environments. Findings will be documented in a technical report and scientific journals, and results will also be shared through presentations, public talks, and outreach materials. Additionally, NPS participants will gain hands-on instruction in geophysical techniques relevant to cultural resource management. The Alaska Region has established channels for sharing research results, ensuring that non-sensitive findings are accessible to the public.Apply for P17AS00312
