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影响。这些影响可能涉及贸易，渔业，旅游，沿海生态，空气和水质，动物迁移和地区社区的变化。特别重点将放在最终无冰的西北通道上，这可能会刺激新的贸易市场，增加船舶的交通，并推动缅因州湾基础设施和经济机会的变化。该研讨会将汇集来自许多领域的研究人员和学生，包括环境科学，地质，大气科学，地理，沿海和海洋科学与工程学，以及政策研究以综合的方式解决这些问题。 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迁移和人口统计。在研讨会期间的特殊重点将放在最终无冰的西北通道上，并有可能刺激新的贸易市场并增加船舶交通。此外，研讨会将考虑这些变化如何改变缅因州海湾所需的基础设施和经济机会，并影响生态系统。该研讨会将为来自环境科学，地质，大气科学，地理，沿海和海洋科学与工程等各种学科的研究人员和学生提供一个论坛，并为制定新的融合研究议程，以解决北纬地区的新兴影响和机会变化。
