Paleoecology, paleoclimatology, Arctic system science, human impacts on the environment, human cultural evolution

Doctor of Science: Geography Faculty, University of Utrecht, Netherlands Utrecht, Netherlands, 1999 (Arctic paleoecology and paleoclimatology)

Doctorandus (Drs.): Institute for Pre and Protohistory, Department of Geography, University of Amsterdam The Netherlands, 1984 (Major Dissertation: "Women in Prehistory: a critique of past and current literature on gender roles with particular emphasis on the Paleolithic." Minor Thesis: "The palynology of a nine meter core from Latina, Italy." under the direction of Dr. T. van der Hammen of the Hugo de Vries Laboratory, Faculty of Biological Sciences, University of Amsterdam.)

Kandidaats (M.A.): University of Leiden The Netherlands, 1984 (Cultural anthropology)

Bachelor of Arts (A.B.) cum laude: Barnard College, Columbia University New York, New York, 1975 (Anthropology. Degree Included one year study at University of Edinburgh, Scotland, studying English literature, archaeology, and oral literature; received a First (First Class Merit) in Oral Literature, School of Scottish Studies.)

I am both an environmental scientist and archaeologist, trained as a palynologist in America and Europe. I hold a B.A. in anthropology, an M.A. in social anthropology, a Ph.D. in archaeology, and a Doctor of Science in geography. I have worked in the Arctic for over 20 years, doing research in Northeastern Siberia, Greenland, and Northern Alaska. My current funded research is based on the Coastal Plain of Arctic Alaska. My most recent research is specifically concerned with the impact of humans on the environment. My colleagues and I are working with Alaskan Native elders to incorporate their perceptions and understanding of their environment in order to improve our scientific knowledge of the Arctic region.

My research links past vegetation and climatic processes with the wider physical environment, and is specifically concerned with the range of variability at which temporal and spatial landscape changes take place. I am primarily engaged in research in the Arctic. I am very interested in impact of Global Climate Change in the Arctic and the interactions of the indigenous people and scientists in the Arctic. I also study gender roles in prehistoric and ethnographic contexts and Women in Science. My current project is specifically concerned with the impact of humans on the environment. I am developing a project with Alaskan Native elders to incorporate their perceptions and understanding of their environment in order to improve our scientific knowledge of the Arctic region.
