1 Impact of Climate Change on Hunter Access in Rural Alaska Dr. Todd J. Brinkman, Institute of Arctic Biology, UAF:
2 Part 1: The Human Dimensions of Wildlife Scienc Part 2: Community perceptions of impacts of climate on availability of subsistence resources Part 3: NASA Community Mapping Project
3 Enhance understanding and stimulate discussion of how climate-driven changes in the environment are influencing people s ability to access local wild resources
4 Interactions between people and wildlife and the thoughts and behaviors of people toward wildlife. How and why interactions among hunters, large mammals, and habitat change over time.
5 Hunters Wildlife Habitat

8 Part 2: Impacts of climate change on availability of subsistence species
9 Funding and support was provided by:
10 Future climatic and ecological conditions may be quite different Overpeck et al. 1997; Chapin et al. 2005, 2006; ACIA 2005
11 How are these changes affecting the availability of local resources that subsistence harvesters depend on?

31 Table 1. Examples of salient perceptions of climate-driven environmental disturbances in human access to subsistence resources that we will locate, describe (i.e., biophysical characteristics and mechanisms), quantify, and analyze using community-based participatory research, ecosystem site assessments, and remote sensing (Brinkman et al. submitted). Change Weather variability Wind Snow Hydrology River & lake ice Permafrost Wildfire Vegetation Influence on subsistence access Increased inter-annual and inter-seasonal variability and unpredictability (e.g., erratic synchrony in seasonal changes such as fall freeze-up and spring break-up) altering and reducing timing of access to subsistence areas Increased frequency of days with wind speeds considered unsafe for boat-related subsistence activities. More wind throw obstructing trail network. Less snow accumulation hindering winter travel Shallower rivers with more rapid and unpredictable changes in channel locations; drying lake complexes reducing boat access and navigability Warmer temperatures have resulted in thinner and more unpredictable river and lake ice hindering winter travel and reducing safety. Thawing permafrost has accelerated land slumping and riverbank erosion, hindering travel on water and land. Increased area, frequency, and severity of wildfires increasing prevalence of toppled trees and ground slash that obstruct trail networks; Early succession regrowth of thick understory vegetation obstructs travel Climate-related shrub (especially willow) expansion and encroachment (especially around lakes and ponds) obstructing travel Source Krupnik and Jolly 2002; Hinzman et al. 2005; Huntington and Fox 2005; Rattenbury et al. 2009; McNeeley and Shulski 2011; Loring et al. 2011; Brinkman et al. 2013; Carothers et al Hansen et al. 2013; Verbyla, pers. comm.

32 Few data on biophysical characteristics and mechanisms of environmental disturbances influencing both human movement across landscapes and access to resources Prevalence and spatio-temporal characteristics of subsistence-altering disturbances have not been quantified at a regional level.

36 1. Collaborate with communities to document travel networks and locate sites of ecosystem disturbances influencing human movement and access to subsistence resources. 2. Use field-based and remote sensing approaches to document biophysical characteristics and the underlying mechanisms related to ecosystem disturbances identified by subsistence harvesters
