项目摘要

The Arctic is the most rapidly changing environment in the world. People living in the Northern Hemisphere are now experiencing the consequences of a changing Arctic, including abrupt shifts in weather patterns, altered availability of natural resources such as fish, minerals and water, and threats to indigenous cultural heritage and economies. Anticipating and adapting to these changes requires exploration and understanding across environmental and social systems spanning from the Arctic to lower latitudes, raising the need for new approaches to train future Arctic scientists. This National Science Foundation Research Traineeship award to the University of Maine will address this demand by training graduate students in the interdisciplinary field of Arctic systems science. The project anticipates training 57 MS and Ph.D. students, including 20 funded trainees from Ecology, Earth Sciences, Anthropology, Economics, and Marine Sciences.Strengthening skills and competencies to improve integration across environmental, social, and knowledge systems are essential to understanding and navigating the new Arctic and enhancing training of the broader STEM workforce. The goal of this project is to train a new generation of leaders prepared to: 1) advance understanding of Arctic changes and their local & global effects, 2) conduct solutions-driven research focused on socio-environmental systems and their dynamics, 3) apply models and tools to integrate across systems, 4) develop cross-cultural & cross-disciplinary perspectives on emerging environmental and economic issues, 5) conduct interdisciplinary, collaborative research with stakeholders to foster resilience of systems affected by Arctic change, 6) inform future Arctic policy, 7) effectively & rapidly communicate results geared to different audiences. An interdisciplinary curriculum that integrates active learning models, professional development, faculty and peer mentoring, collaborative research, and stakeholder engagement will be created, focused on changes in Greenland, the Arctic-North Atlantic and Maine. The core training elements of this project include an annual retreat, a suite of new and existing coursework, a collaborative interdisciplinary research project, Arctic field experience, and an internship with a partner organization. The NSF Research Traineeship (NRT) Program is designed to encourage the development and implementation of bold, new potentially transformative models for STEM graduate education training. The program is dedicated to effective training of STEM graduate students in high priority interdisciplinary or convergent research areas through comprehensive traineeship models that are innovative, evidence-based, and aligned with changing workforce and research needs.Co-funding for this award is being provided by Navigating the New Arctic (NNA) program, one of NSF’s ten Big Ideas. NNA supports projects that address convergence scientific challenges in the rapidly changing Arctic, empower new research partnerships, diversify the next generation of Arctic researchers, enhance efforts in formal and informal education, and integrate the co-production of knowledge where appropriate. This award aligns with those goals.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.

北极是世界上变化最快的环境，生活在北半球的人们正在经历北极变化的后果，包括天气模式的突然变化、鱼类、矿物质和水等自然资源可用性的改变以及威胁。预测和适应这些变化需要探索和理解从北极到低纬度地区的环境和社会系统，因此需要新的方法来培训未来的北极科学家。缅因大学将解决通过培训北极系统科学跨学科领域的研究生，该项目预计将培训 57 名硕士和博士生，其中包括 20 名来自生态学、地球科学、人类学、经济学和海洋科学的受资助学员。改善环境、社会和知识系统的整合对于理解和驾驭新北极以及加强对更广泛的 STEM 劳动力的培训至关重要。该项目的目标是培训新一代领导者，使其做好以下准备：1)了解北极变化及其对当地和全球的影响，2）开展以解决方案为导向的研究，重点关注社会环境系统及其动态，3）应用模型和工具进行跨系统整合，4）发展跨文化和跨学科对新兴环境和经济问题的看法，5）与利益相关者进行跨学科合作研究，以增强受北极变化影响的系统的弹性，6）为未来的北极政策提供信息，7）有效和快速地传达适合不同受众的结果。整合主动学习模式、专业该项目的核心培训内容包括年度静修会、一套新的和现有的课程。、跨学科合作研究项目、北极实地经验以及与合作伙伴组织的实习，旨在鼓励为 STEM 研究生教育培训开发和实施大胆的、具有潜在变革性的新模式。进行有效的培训通过创新、循证且符合不断变化的劳动力和研究需求的综合培训模式，在高度优先的跨学科或融合研究领域培养 STEM 研究生。该奖项的共同资助由航行新北极 (NNA) 计划提供是 NSF 的十大创意之一，它支持的项目旨在解决快速变化的北极的融合挑战，增强新的研究伙伴关系，使下一代北极科学研究人员多样化，加强正规和非正规教育的努力，并整合共同生产该奖项与这些目标相一致。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。
