This award will allow an anthropologist at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill to receive technical training in geographic information systems and remote sensing. This training will be used to help analyze information gathered about agriculture, ecology and economics in two communities in the Peruvian Andes. The research seeks to understand how peasant populations use strategies such as field dispersion, storage and exchange to buffer production risk due to drought, frost and crop pests. This award will allow the investigator to analyze data on regional environmental variation that has been available but that he was not trained to use. The research that this training activity supports is important because the understanding of peasant survival strategies is critical to the dealings between the U.S. and societies which have large peasant populations. The training is also valuable in itself to increase the technical expertise of social scientists.

该奖项将使北卡罗来纳大学教堂山分校的人类学家能够接受地理信息系统和遥感技术培训。 该培训将用于帮助分析收集到的有关秘鲁安第斯山脉两个社区农业、生态和经济的信息。 该研究旨在了解农民如何利用田间分散、储存和交换等策略来缓冲干旱、霜冻和农作物病虫害造成的生产风险。 该奖项将使研究人员能够分析已有但未接受过使用培训的区域环境变化数据。 这项培训活动支持的研究很重要，因为了解农民生存策略对于美国与拥有大量农民人口的社会之间的交往至关重要。 培训本身对于提高社会科学家的技术专业知识也很有价值。
