OverviewAI-generated summary
Carla E. Klehm's research investigates the application of remote sensing and other scientific methods to address archaeological questions concerning human societies, past and present. Her work focuses on themes of inequality, long-distance trade, and human-environmental relationships.
Dr. Klehm directs international, multidisciplinary projects that examine early polities in southern Africa, megalithic monuments in East Africa, and historical landscapes of marginalized communities in the US. These projects have resulted in 27 peer-reviewed publications, two edited journal volumes, and 30 conference presentations. She has also secured over 25 grant-funded projects totaling $2.88 million.
Her federally funded projects, totaling $1,232,861 from the NSF, include work on dynamic modeling of river ecosystem stability in Alaska to improve cultural resiliency for Yup'ik communities, and advancing spatial archaeometry through collaborative research. Dr. Klehm holds an h-index of 12 with 47 total publications and 455 citations.
