Collecting and Preserving Local and Traditional Climate Knowledge

The Exchange for Local Observations and Knowledge of the Arctic (ELOKA) facilitates the collection, preservation, exchange, and use of local observations and knowledge of the Arctic. Local and Traditional Knowledge (LTK) provides rich information about the Arctic that complements data acquired via conventional quantitative data collection methods. ELOKA seeks to make LTK and community observations discoverable and accessible to community members, scientists, educators, policy makers, and the general public.
