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 built environment, addresses important societal challenges, and engages with local communities.Alaskan communities and their built environment are affected by permafrost thaw, coastal and river erosion, flooding, and other natural processes altered or accelerated by environmental changes. Arctic coastal communities in particular face compound threats from riverbank erosion, permafrost thaw, and increasing coastal storm impacts. As data collection campaigns in the Arctic are costly and often limited to periods of the year when weather affords access to sites of interest, significant gaps in data and information can result. This NNA planning grant employs workshops designed to discover gaps in knowledge and develop associated research questions and hypotheses to address issues affecting coastal Arctic communities in Alaska. It identifies novel strategies for making targeted measurements in these challenging environments. This project also facilitates development of ideas for novel but feasible long-term data collection and monitoring strategies that encourage and rely upon local community engagement. Additionally, this project aids the development of a new multi- and interdisciplinary research team to open pathways towards future research efforts.This NNA planning grant synthesizes and develops key research questions related to the interaction between coastal and riverine processes and the built environment in the coastal Arctic region in the context of environmental change. This research project is positioned at the nexus between the sciences of the natural and built environments and includes co-production of knowledge with local Arctic communities, as it identifies effective data collection and monitoring strategies to answer these questions, pinpoints expertise needed to assemble a diverse and interdisciplinary research team to address these questions, and engages Alaskan Arctic coastal communities and stakeholders to develop a feasible, sustainable, and impactful research strategy. These goals are achieved through two workshops that include researchers, federal and state agency stakeholders, and community stakeholders, as well as a diverse representation of domestic and international experts, early career researchers, and students. This project engages local community stakeholders into all aspects of the project to learn about and incorporate their knowledge and needs. The project plans to disseminate research findings widely as it assembles a core research team for future steps into research on Arctic coastal communities.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 授权从地方到国际范围内的新研究伙伴关系，使下一代北极研究人员多样化，加强正规和非正规教育的努力，并在适当的情况下整合知识的共同生产。该奖项通过支持具有明显潜力的规划活动来实现该目标的一部分，以开发新颖的、前沿的研究思想和方法来实现 NNA 目标。它整合了自然环境和建筑环境的各个方面，解决了重要的社会挑战，并与当地社区合作。阿拉斯加社区及其建筑环境受到永久冻土融化、海岸和河流侵蚀、洪水以及其他因环境而改变或加速的自然过程的影响。变化。北极沿海社区尤其面临河岸侵蚀、永久冻土融化和日益严重的沿海风暴影响的复合威胁。由于北极的数据收集活动成本高昂，而且通常仅限于一年中天气条件允许访问感兴趣地点的时期，因此可能会导致数据和信息的巨大差距。这项 NNA 规划拨款举办了研讨会，旨在发现知识差距并提出相关的研究问题和假设，以解决影响阿拉斯加沿海北极社区的问题。它确定了在这些具有挑战性的环境中进行有针对性的测量的新颖策略。该项目还促进了新颖但可行的长期数据收集和监测策略的发展，鼓励并依赖当地社区的参与。此外，该项目有助于建立一个新的多学科和跨学科研究团队，为未来的研究工作开辟道路。该 NNA 规划拨款综合并开发了与沿海和河流过程以及沿海建筑环境之间相互作用相关的关键研究问题环境变化背景下的北极地区.该研究项目定位于自然科学和建筑环境科学之间的联系，包括与当地北极社区共同生产知识，因为它确定了有效的数据收集和监测策略来回答这些问题，并确定了组装多样化的知识所需的专业知识。和跨学科研究团队来解决这些问题，并让阿拉斯加北极沿海社区和利益相关者参与制定可行、可持续和有影响力的研究策略。这些目标是通过两个研讨会实现的，参与者包括研究人员、联邦和州机构利益相关者、社区利益相关者，以及国内外专家、早期职业研究人员和学生的不同代表。该项目让当地社区利益相关者参与项目的各个方面，以了解并融入他们的知识和需求。该项目计划广泛传播研究成果，因为它组建了一个核心研究团队，以便未来开展北极沿海社区的研究。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。
