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.

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社会系统的各个方面，解决了重要的社会挑战，并与国际社会以及当地和土著社区合作。由于环境变化以及经济发展的扩大和加强，北极社区正在经历前所未有的转变。例如，随着气候变暖，海冰变得更薄、范围更小，这使得全球贸易得以扩大，大型船舶的运输量也随之增加。该项目正在调查快速变化的海冰状况对北极社区的影响，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种威胁的脆弱性。北极人民的观点和关切是该项目的核心，该项目汇集了北极地区原住民社区的领导人与西方科学家，从多个层面探讨这些问题。该项目正在寻找科学产品能够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恢复力之间的差距。预期的结果是整合由社区成员、组织和学者组成的研究团队，共同制定研究设计，以满足快速变化的北极地区的社区需求。该提案汇集了双重暴露和情境脆弱性的框架，以制定一个一个分析框架，用于了解快速变化的气候和非气候过程对北极社区的协同影响如何受到社会经济、生物物理和政治背景的调节。这项研究正在与阿拉斯加、格陵兰岛和其他地区的沿海土著社区共同开发关于当前和未来北极对海冰变化的脆弱性的知识，以找出差距，并根据社区成员的解释和框架，根据背景提供选择。这项工作正在生成分析框架和研究设计，以了解气候和非气候过程对社区的影响和脆弱性。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进行评估，被认为值得支持标准。
