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.This project will bring together earth system scientists, engineers, ecologists, and anthropologists to develop a plan to document and explain changes in ecosystems and their effects on the plants, animals, indigenous peoples, and industrial infrastructure of the Arctic region. It will emphasize interactions between these elements to help understand, inform, and plan for changes to come. Researchers will focus on the Yamal Peninsula, which presents a continuous gradation of habitat types from forest in the south to tundra in the north, a rich diversity of endemic and invasive plant and animal species, a large population of traditional peoples, and economically critical natural resources. Yamal serves as a small-scale and manageable model for the Arctic as a whole, wherein changes in climate and their effects on temperature, precipitation, landform, plants, animals, peoples, and infrastructure need to be understood and related to one another. The project will contribute to the curriculum development for a collaborative, transdisciplinary online inter-institutional undergraduate and graduate course to train the next generation of scientists to take a holistic approach to problem solving. The team will directly engage Indigenous knowledge holders and other stakeholders throughout the research project. The project aims at developing a convergence research team to study the Yamal region as an ideal natural laboratory for transdisciplinary work to understand the complexity and adaptation of Arctic biotic and abiotic systems to climate change, and the feed-forward and feedback mechanisms modulating the co-evolution of human society and natural systems. The participants will focus on developing research ideas and approaches for testing the hypothesis that displacing Arctic systems from their historic state of dynamic equilibrium under changing environment stimulates further changes to abiotic, biotic, and socio-cultural elements, particularly when combined with the spread of industrial infrastructure, to increase the role of feed-forward and feedback mechanisms. Two transdisciplinary research "transects" will be considered as main determinants of the Arctic system with two contrasting scenarios: gradual warning and extreme weather events. Planned activities will include two workshops, monthly virtual conferences, international research capacity building, and a synthesis paper.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。该项目将汇集地球系统科学家，工程师，生态学家和人类学家，制定一项计划，以记录和解释生态系统的变化及其对北极地区的动植物，动物，土著人民以及工业基础设施的影响。它将强调这些要素之间的互动，以帮助理解，告知和计划更改。研究人员将专注于雅马尔半岛，雅马尔半岛（Yamal Peninsula）呈现从南部的森林到北部的苔原的连续层次，具有丰富的流行和入侵动植物的多样性，大量传统人民以及经济上关键的自然资源。雅马尔是整个北极的小规模且易于管理的模型，其中气候变化及其对温度，降水，地形，植物，动物，动物，人民和基础设施的影响需要了解并相互关联。 该项目将有助于协作，跨学科的在线机构间本科和研究生课程的课程开发，以培训下一代科学家，以采用整体方法来解决问题。该团队将在整个研究项目中直接吸引土著知识持有者和其他利益相关者。 该项目旨在建立一个融合研究团队，以研究雅马尔地区，是跨学科工作的理想自然实验室，以了解北极生物和非生物系统对气候变化的复杂性和适应性，并调节人类社会和自然系统的共同发展的饲料前进和反馈机制。参与者将专注于开发研究思想和方法来测试以下假设，即在不断变化的环境下，将北极系统从其历史性的动态平衡状态中取代，刺激了对非生物，生物和社会文化元素的进一步变化，尤其是当与工业基础设施的传播相结合时，以增加反馈和反馈机构的作用。两项跨学科研究“横断面”将被视为北极系统的主要决定因素，具有两种对比场景：逐渐警告和极端天气事件。计划中的活动将包括两个研讨会，每月的虚拟会议，国际研究能力建设和合成论文。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并且使用基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的影响审查标准，被认为值得通过评估来获得支持。
