Indigenous ecological knowledge is one critical aspect of cultural heritage that may provide a source of resiliency, mitigation, and adaptation to the effects of climate change. Cultural heritages relevant to changes induced by climate change include diverse forms of technical knowledge and social customs for resource use (i.e. use rights or ownership). Another fundamental characteristic for cultural heritage centers on the extent to which a specific cultural heritage is transmitted in a stable fashion across generations (vertical transmission) versus shared quickly amongst a network of contacts (horizontal transmission). Vertical transmission has the advantage of preserving hard-to-discover technical information and stabilizing resource use-rights to avoid conflict, while horizontal transmission enables the diffusion of technical innovations and new social arrangements. Proposed Research The proposed transdisciplinary research will apply cultural transmission models to study the vertical and horizontal transmission dynamics of cultural heritages at four comparative study sites: Hoonah AK, Zhetysu Kazakhstan, Chiapas Mexico, and Khovd Mongolia. We will marry these socio-cultural data to ecological data on the changes in resource distributions anticipated due to climate change, and then feed back this information to study site stakeholders and partners so they can consider whether they need to alter their traditional levels of vertical versus horizontal transmission for cultural heritage to account for changes brought on by a changing climate.

土著生态知识是文化遗产的关键方面，它可能提供弹性，缓解和适应气候变化影响的来源。与气候变化引起的变化相关的文化遗产包括用于资源使用的各种形式的技术知识和社会习俗（即使用权利或所有权）。文化遗产的另一个基本特征集中在特定文化遗产的程度上以稳定的方式传输到几代人（垂直传播）（垂直传播），而在一个接触网络（水平传播）之间迅速共享。垂直传输具有保留难以发现的技术信息并稳定资源使用权以避免冲突的优势，而水平传输可以扩散技术创新和新的社会安排。拟议的研究拟议的跨学科研究将采用文化传播模型来研究四个比较研究地点的文化遗产的垂直和水平传播动力学：Hoonah AK，Zhetysu Hoonah AK，Zhetysu Kazakhstan，Chiaiapas Mexico和Khovd Mongolia。我们将将这些社会文化数据与有关气候变化所预期的资源分布的变化的生态数据结合在一起，然后将此信息馈回研究现场利益相关者和合作伙伴，以便他们可以考虑是否需要改变传统的垂直传播水平和水平传播水平的文化遗产，以考虑到改变气候变化的变化。
