Part 1. The proposed workshop will consider how changes in the Arctic will have regional impacts on New England's economic, environmental, and social dynamics. These impacts could involve changes in trade, fisheries, tourism, coastal ecology, air and water quality, animal migration, and regional communities. Special emphasis will be placed on an eventual ice-free Northwest Passage, which could stimulate new trade markets and increase ship traffic, and drive changes in infrastructure and economic opportunities in the Gulf of Maine. The workshop will bring together researchers and students from many fields, including environmental science, geology, atmospheric science, geography, coastal and marine science and engineering, and policy studies to approach these questions in an integrated manner. The workshop will promote convergence by focusing on the societal issues associated with future changes in the Arctic driving changes in New England and by organizing participants in a manner that will foster new holistic approaches.Part 2. The proposed workshop will consider how changes in the Arctic will have regional impacts on New England's economic, environmental, and social dynamics - especially as they relate to trade, fisheries, tourism, coastal ecology, air and water quality, animal migration, and human demographics. Special emphasis during the workshop will be placed on an eventual ice-free Northwest Passage and the potential for this to stimulate new trade markets and increase ship traffic. Further, the workshop will consider how these changes could transform the needed infrastructure and economic opportunities in the Gulf of Maine, as well as impact ecosystems. The workshop will provide a forum for researchers and students from diverse disciplines such as environmental science, geology, atmospheric science, geography, coastal and marine science and engineering, and policy studies to forge a new convergent research agenda to address emergent impacts and opportunities Arctic change poses for lower latitude regions.

第 1 部分：拟议的研讨会将考虑北极的变化将如何对新英格兰的经济、环境和社会动态产生区域影响。这些影响可能涉及贸易、渔业、旅游业、沿海生态、空气和水质、动物迁徙和区域社区的变化。将特别重视西北航道最终的无冰，这可以刺激新的贸易市场并增加船舶交通，并推动缅因湾基础设施和经济机会的变化。该研讨会将汇集来自环境科学、地质学、大气科学、地理学、沿海和海洋科学与工程以及政策研究等多个领域的研究人员和学生，以综合的方式解决这些问题。该研讨会将重点关注与北极未来变化相关的社会问题，推动新英格兰的变化，并以促进新的整体方法的方式组织参与者，从而促进融合。第二部分：拟议的研讨会将考虑北极的变化如何将对新英格兰的经济、环境和社会动态产生区域性影响，特别是与贸易、渔业、旅游业、沿海生态、空气和水质、动物迁徙和人口统计相关的影响。研讨会期间将特别强调西北航道最终不冻以及刺激新贸易市场和增加船舶交通的潜力。此外，研讨会还将考虑这些变化如何改变缅因湾所需的基础设施和经济机会，以及如何影响生态系统。该研讨会将为环境科学、地质学、大气科学、地理学、沿海和海洋科学与工程以及政策研究等不同学科的研究人员和学生提供一个论坛，以制定新的融合研究议程，以应对北极变化的紧急影响和机遇适合低纬度地区。
