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.The Arctic is warming on average twice as rapidly as the rest of the planet, which is leading to significant changes in sea ice to which local communities must respond. Beringia, a region of the Arctic encompassing US and Russian territory, is expected to experience some of the highest variability in sea ice conditions in the coming century. This project focuses on the question: how do we design better and more flexible governance and infrastructure to adapt to changing Arctic conditions? To answer this question, the team is taking a convergence approach to forecast potential changes in the Arctic sea ice environment and the impacts on social and ecological systems resulting from those changes and identify adaptive strategies to enhance resilience to those impacts. The project fully engages local and Indigenous communities and decision makers in the Arctic throughout the research process to generate information and models about critical hot spots of sea ice change relevant to local communities. This will help build local and regional governance capacity and allow the researchers to model and predict the robustness of communities to forecast changes.Coproduction of knowledge between local and Indigenous communities and scientists, and collaborative research across disciplinary and national boundaries, will be used to address four key research questions: 1) How do people understand and perceive changing sea ice, and how do they adapt to variability in ice conditions? 2) Where are the current critical hot spots of variability in sea ice, and where will they be in the future as the environment and communities change? 3) How will governmental and non-governmental organizations in the region navigate changing sea ice conditions and interact with communities to respond to their changing needs? and 4) What features of the existing, and potential, social-ecological systems are robust/fragile to forecast changes in sea ice? This project will document diverse narratives and critical policy challenges around biogeophysical changes and associated livelihood and economic opportunities/costs between and within communities through grounded ethnography and cultural consensus analysis. Satellite data will be used to highlight "hot spots" of sea ice variability and provide a starting point for community and stakeholders' discussions of "change". Interviews with governance actors will identify priorities and responses and generate spatially explicit policy networks. A multi-agent model will link these analyses and be utilized to explore the diversity of issues, projections of change, and fragility or robustness of communities and the infrastructure systems they rely on. Through this research, the project will derive new understandings of community and institutional responses to change, the impacts of spatial and temporal variability within a trend, and robustness-fragility trade-offs that can be applied to other regions as they navigate transitions around the globe in the Anthropocene.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.

航行新北极 (NNA) 是 NSF 的 10 大创意之一。 NNA 项目解决快速变化的北极地区的融合科学挑战。北极研究需要为国家、更大地区和全球的经济、安全和复原力提供信息。 NNA 赋予从地方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，并整合知识的共同生产。该奖项部分实现了这一目标。北极变暖的速度平均是地球其他地区的两倍，这导致海冰发生重大变化，当地社区必须对此做出反应。 白令海峡是一个涵盖美国和俄罗斯领土的北极地区，预计在下个世纪将经历海冰状况的最大变化。该项目关注的问题是：我们如何设计更好、更灵活的治理和基础设施以适应不断变化的北极条件？ 为了回答这个问题，该团队正在采用聚合方法来预测北极海冰环境的潜在变化以及这些变化对社会和生态系统的影响，并确定适应性策略以增强对这些影响的抵御能力。 该项目在整个研究过程中充分吸引北极当地和土著社区以及决策者的参与，以生成与当地社区相关的海冰变化关键热点的信息和模型。这将有助于建设地方和区域治理能力，并使研究人员能够建模和预测社区预测变化的稳健性。地方和土著社区和科学家之间的知识共同生产以及跨学科和国家边界的合作研究将用于解决四个关键研究问题：1）人们如何理解和感知海冰的变化，以及如何适应冰况的变化？ 2）当前海冰变化的关键热点在哪里，随着环境和社区的变化，它们将来会在哪里？ 3) 该地区的政府和非政府组织将如何应对不断变化的海冰状况并与社区互动，以满足他们不断变化的需求？ 4）现有和潜在的社会生态系统的哪些特征对于预测海冰的变化是稳健/脆弱的？该项目将通过扎根的民族志和文化共识分析，记录围绕生物地球物理变化以及社区之间和社区内部相关生计和经济机会/成本的不同叙述和关键政策挑战。卫星数据将用于突出海冰变化的“热点”，并为社区和利益相关者讨论“变化”提供起点。与治理参与者的访谈将确定优先事项和应对措施，并生成空间明确的政策网络。多主体模型将连接这些分析，并用于探索问题的多样性、变化的预测以及社区及其所依赖的基础设施系统的脆弱性或稳健性。通过这项研究，该项目将对社区和机构对变化的反应、趋势内空间和时间变异性的影响以及鲁棒性与脆弱性的权衡产生新的理解，这些权衡可应用于其他地区在全球转型过程中的应用该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
