Research Interests

Dr. Andrew (Anaru) Kliskey comes from Aotearoa / New Zealand. He trained as a land surveyor (BSurv) and resource planner (MRRP), and he earned a PhD degree in geography that integrated geographic information systems, behavioral geography, and resource management. Kliskey was a postdoctoral researcher at the University of British Columbia and at the Arctic Institute of North America’s Kluane Lake Field Station in Yukon Territory, Canada. Kliskey is currently Associate Professor in Biology and Geography & Environmental Studies and co-leader of the Resilience and Adaptive Management (RAM) Group at the University of Alaska Anchorage. Kliskey has spent the last five years working with people in Inipuiat communities in northwestern Alaska to understand their perception of environmental change. This is part of a broader research initiative in which the RAM Group is engaged, examining community response and adaptation to multiple scale environmental changes. Kliskey’s expertise is in the application and integration of questionnaire surveys, in-person interviews, geographic information systems, and agent-based modeling along with the development of methodologies for synthesizing social and ecological understanding.
