Navigating the New Arctic (NNA) is one of NSF's 10 Big Ideas. NNA projects address convergence scientific challenges in the rapidly changing Arctic. The Arctic research is needed to inform the economy, security and resilience of the Nation, the larger region and the globe. NNA empowers new research partnerships from local to international scales, diversifies the next generation of Arctic researchers, and integrates the co-production of knowledge. This award fulfills part of that aim. Alaskan coastal Indigenous communities face severe, urgent, and complex social and infrastructural challenges resulting from environmental changes. Coastlines are degrading and this impacts infrastructure that communities use on a daily basis, changing how people access and hunt for food and other natural resources and conduct their lives. The magnitude and significance of impacts are unclear as is how local communities will respond to resulting disruptions and disasters. A major problem facing researchers, stakeholders, and policymakers in addressing these issues is that existing research is piecemeal. The whole picture of coastal communities is not well understood, and ways to address problems they face are not as effective as they could be. A changing environment drives changes to the populations of Alaskan coastal Indigenous communities due to families and individuals relocating either seasonally or permanently, which complicates efforts to understand the relationship between environmental changes and society. These challenges demand a robust, integrated, and convergent research platform to identify the complexities of the issues and the ways communities can respond. The POLARIS (Pursuing Opportunities for Long-term Arctic Resilience for Infrastructure and Society) project supplies just that kind of research platform for analyzing current and future needs in order to create resilient communities in the face of a changing environment.The POLARIS project has identified three convergent research pillars to help communities adapt: environmental hotspots of disruption to communities and infrastructure, food in complex adaptive systems, and migration and community relocation. These pillars are interwoven with five component processes: education, outreach, local community engagement, international comparison and collaboration, and evaluation. Research integrates the pillars where system responses and uncertainties are predicted under several socio-environmental scenarios. Researchers from a variety of fields are coming together with local community members to conduct the research. The data and analysis created through surveying local community members, modeling environmental changes, and conducting economic research inform local, state, and national decision makers and leaders about how to address infrastructure and social needs in the face of environmental changes. In addition to the research and community focus of the project, POLARIS is training junior researchers, graduate students, and undergraduate students in interdisciplinary research as they participate in work across the pillars and five components. This helps ensure that the rising generation of researchers is well prepared to continue the crucial work to address the issues that the project identifies well past its conclusion. In addition, local educators are working with local communities to develop classroom tools to engage students in K-12 settings. This integrated research project will enable communities to become more resilient with both stronger societies, civic culture, and improved infrastructure needed as the new Arctic continues to emerge.Co-funding for this award is being provided by the NSF Research Traineeship Program (NRT), reflecting the project's alignment with the broader goals of interdisciplinary graduate education.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

NSF的10个大创意之一是导航新北极（NNA）。 NNA项目应对北极快速变化的融合科学挑战。需要进行北极研究，以告知国家，较大地区和全球的经济，安全和弹性。 NNA赋予从本地量表到国际规模的新研究伙伴关系，使下一代北极研究人员多样化，并整合了知识的共同生产。该奖项实现了该目标的一部分。阿拉斯加沿海土著社区面临着由环境变化造成的严重，紧急和复杂的社会和基础设施挑战。海岸线正在退化，这会影响社区每天使用的基础设施，改变人们如何获得和寻找食物和其他自然资源并履行生活。影响的大小和意义尚不清楚，当地社区将如何应对造成的干扰和灾难。研究人员，利益相关者和政策制定者解决这些问题的主要问题是现有研究是零散的。沿海社区的全部情况尚不清楚，解决他们所面临的问题的方法并不如可能有效。由于家庭和个人在季节性或永久性地搬迁，环境不断变化的环境会改变阿拉斯加沿海土著社区的种群，这使人们努力了解环境变化与社会之间的关系。这些挑战需要一个强大，集成和融合的研究平台，以确定问题的复杂性以及社区可以做出反应的方式。 北极星（为基础设施和社会寻求长期北极弹性的机会）项目提供供应，只是为了在不断变化的环境面前创造韧性的社区来分析当前和未来的需求。北极星项目已经确定了三个融合的研究支柱，以帮助社区和社区的环境与迁移和食品相关的环境相互作用，而对社区的环境和食物的范围和食物相互作用，相互作用，相互作用，相互作用，相互作用。这些支柱与五个组成过程交织在一起：教育，外展，当地社区参与，国际比较和协作以及评估。研究整合了在几个社会环境场景下预测系统响应和不确定性的支柱。来自各个领域的研究人员正在与当地社区成员一起进行研究。通过调查当地社区成员，对环境变化进行建模以及进行经济研究来为当地，州和国家决策者以及领导者提供有关如何在环境变化时如何满足基础设施和社会需求的信息。除了该项目的研究和社区重点外，Polaris还在跨学科研究中培训初级研究人员，研究生和本科生，他们参加了跨学科和五个组成部分的工作。这有助于确保新一代的研究人员做好了充分的准备，以继续至关重要的工作，以解决该项目确定的问题以后的问题。此外，当地教育工作者正在与当地社区合作，开发课堂工具，使学生参与K-12设置。这个整合的研究项目将使社区能够通过更强大的社会，公民文化和改进的基础设施变得更具韧性值得通过基金会的智力优点和更广泛的影响审查标准来通过评估来支持。
