项目摘要

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, enhances efforts in formal and informal education, and integrates the co-production of knowledge where appropriate. This award fulfills part of that aim by supporting planning activities with clear potential to develop novel, leading edge research ideas and approaches to address NNA goals. It integrates aspects of the natural environment and social systems, addresses important societal challenges, and engages internationally and with local and Indigenous communities. Arctic communities are experiencing unprecedented transformation due to environmental changes and expanding and intensifying economic development. For example, as the climate warms, sea ice becomes thinner and less extensive, which enables the expansion of global trade and more shipping traffic with larger ships. This project is investigating the impacts of rapidly changing sea ice conditions on Arctic communities, how these changes interact with social and economic threats, and how the socio-economic and other contexts of the communities affect their vulnerabilities to both. The perspective and concerns of Artic peoples are at the core of this project, which brings together leaders of Indigenous communities from across the Arctic region with Western scientists to explore these issues at multiple scales. This project is identifying ways that scientific products can better serve communal needs, and thus narrow the gap between scientific projects and adaptation and resilience of Arctic communities. An anticipated outcome is the consolidation of a research team of community members, organizations, and academics to co-produce a research design to address community needs in a rapidly changing Arctic.This proposal brings together the frameworks of Double Exposure and Contextual Vulnerability to develop an analytical framework for understanding how the synergic effects of rapidly changing climatic and non-climatic processes on Arctic communities are mediated by socio-economic, biophysical, and political contexts. This research is co-producing knowledge with coastal Indigenous communities in Alaska, Greenland, and other regions on the current and future Arctic vulnerabilities to sea-ice change to identify gaps and providing options by context as interpreted and framed by community members. The work is generating analytical frameworks and research designs for understanding the effects on and vulnerabilities of communities to climatic and non-climatic processes.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，加强了正规和非正式教育方面的努力，并在适当的情况下整合了知识的共同生产。该奖项通过支持规划活动具有明确的潜力来开发新颖的，领先的研究思想和方法来解决NNA目标，从而实现了这一目标的一部分。它整合了自然环境和社会系统的各个方面，应对重要的社会挑战，并在国际上与地方和土著社区参与。由于环境变化以及不断扩大和增强经济发展，北极社区正在经历前所未有的转变。例如，随着气候温暖，海冰变得更薄且越来越大，这可以扩大全球贸易，并随着较大的船只的运输流量增加。该项目正在研究快速变化的海冰条件对北极社区的影响，这些变化如何与社会和经济威胁相互作用，以及社区的社会经济和其他环境如何影响其对这两者的脆弱性。该项目的核心是，北极地区的土著社区的领导人与西方科学家们一起探索了这些问题，以多种规模探索这些问题。该项目正在确定科学产品可以更好地满足公共需求的方法，从而缩小科学项目与北极社区的适应和韧性之间的差距。一个预期的结果是由社区成员，组织和学者组成的研究团队的整合，以共同制作研究设计，以在北极快速变化的北极地区解决社区需求。该提案将双重暴露和上下文脆弱性的框架汇集在一起，以开发一个分析框架，以了解迅速变化的社会和非环境社区的迅速影响，以开发分析框架，以了解对脑的迅速变化 - 属于非环境社区的效果 - 生物物理和政治背景。这项研究是与阿拉斯加，格陵兰岛的沿海土著社区以及其他地区有关当前和未来的北极脆弱性，以识别差距和通过社区成员解释和构造的上下文提供选择的知识。这项工作正在生成分析框架和研究设计，以理解社区对气候和非气候过程的影响和脆弱性。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是值得通过基金会的智力优点评估来支持的，并具有更广泛的影响。
