Adaptation and Sustainability in a Small Arctic Community: Results of an Agent-Based Simulation Model
"Climate warming and resource development could alter key Arctic ecosystem functions that support fish and wildlife resources harvested by local indigenous communities. A different set of global forces--government policies and tourism markets--increasingly directs local cash economies that comm...
