This study was supported by the Bureau of Land Management through
interagency agreement with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
under which a multi-year program responding to need of petroleum development
of the Alaskan continental shelf is managed by the Outer Continental Shelf
Environmental Assessment Program (OCSEAP) Office. Drawings were done by
Debbie Cocci a and Jim Burton. The idea of this project arose during a
conversation between George Edwardson, Jr., and one of the Principal Investigators.
Rachael Craig and Edna MacLean helped in initiating the project and Mrs. Molly
Pederson of the North Slope Borough Inupiaq Language Commission obtained
some of the narratives and interviews and provided translations. Teri
McClung assisted with transcription of interviews and editing. Finally,
the hospitality of the family of Kenneth Toovak during the translation
process is gratefully acknowledged.The objective of this program was to extend the data base on ice hazards
along the Beaufort Sea coast of Alaska backward in time by using the
knowledge and understanding of ice and weather conditions of the local
residents. Information for this pilot project was obtained through direct
interviews with residents, or from narratives supplied by them. The results
of these procedures were evaluated to provide a basis for improving similar
efforts in future. Observations of particular interest obtained from these
interviews and narratives include (1 ) a description of a major motion of the
landfast ice off Harrison Bay in late February, (2) a description of the
formation of ice push ridges and ride-up at Cape Halkett during break up,
(3) reports of whales traveling inshore of Cross Island during the fall
migration and of whales being taken by crews from the Prudhoe Bay area at
that time of year, and 4) descriptions of conditions in the nearshore area
during summer. In addition information of historical and cultural interest
was obtained.Supported by NOAA Contract 03-5-022-55, Task No. 6ABSTRACT -- ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS -- TABLE OF CONTENTS : INTRODUCTION ; PROCEDURES ; RESULTS ; DISCUSSION AND EVALUATION -- APPENDIX I -- APPENDIX II -- APPENDIX II
