How to Conduct Research

Information that scientists gather can play an important role not only in how Kobuk Valley National Park is managed, but also in how we address some of the greater issues that face or planet. Our current understanding of historical, biological, cultural, and geological resources within our parks has been gained through scientific research and work with local and indigenous people.

While reserach on federal lands and in wilderness areas is vital to our understanding and management of these invaluable places, it is also subject to contions and responsibilities that you may not be used to. Learn more about conducting research in Kobuk Valley at the links below.
