This award is funded in whole or in part under the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (Public Law 117-2).Navigating the New Arctic (NNA) is one of NSF's 10 Big Ideas. NNA projects address convergence scientific challenges in the rapidly changing Arctic. This 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 addressing interactions among social systems, the natural environment, and the built environment in the following NNA focus areas: Arctic Residents, Data and Observation, Education, Forecasting, and Resilient Infrastructure. This project applies convergent methodologies to study the Arctic Frozen Commons (FC), defined as the ice, snow, and permafrost landscapes collectively used and governed by communities and numerous non-local stakeholders. While significant knowledge exists around biophysical characteristics of the cryosphere, this remains largely separate from its cultural and social understandings among local and Indigenous communities, culminating in poor integration around the use and governance of Frozen Commons in a rapidly changing Arctic. An enhanced understanding of interacting processes in the social, cultural, technological, environmental, and governance domains for frozen commons is critical to framing sustainable Arctic futures. This project advances transdisciplinary research by converging Arts, Science, Local and Indigenous Knowledge systems (ArtSLInK) for developing a deeper understanding of FC resilience and sustainability. ArtSLInK encompasses synchronous, equitable, co-productive engagement across the social and natural sciences, the arts and place-based local and Indigenous knowledge systems, each with their distinct modes of exploration and expression.This project integrates social, technological, and environmental domains of frozen commons, and explicitly engages with governance implications across diverse worldviews and management narratives. The project addresses three research questions: 1) What FC are recognized by culturally diverse Indigenous and local communities and regional stakeholders, 2) How are they governed within specific cultural domains?, and 3) What are the major sociocultural, environmental, technological, and infrastructural driving forces and their interrelations that affect the resilience and sustainability of FC? The project pursues the following objectives: (1) to identify and inventory community relevant FC; (2) to situate knowledge of FC using a social-ecological-technological systems (SETS) framework; (3) to understand interactions between sociocultural, environmental, and technology infrastructure domains affecting the availability, quality, and use of FC; and (4) to use integrated modeling approaches to determine sources of resilience and sustainability for FC under changing conditions. The project applies a transdisciplinary and comparative research framework for two rural-urban community pairs in Russia and the U.S. (Alaska) that are representative of different community sizes, governance regimes, socioeconomic arrangements, and geographies.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.

该奖项是根据2021年《美国救援计划法》的全部或部分资助（公共法117-2）。对新北极（NNA）的努力是NSF的10个大想法之一。 NNA项目应对北极快速变化的融合科学挑战。需要进行这项北极研究，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。该奖项通过解决以下NNA焦点领域中的社会系统，自然环境和建筑环境之间的互动来实现该目标的一部分：北极居民，数据和观察，教育，预测和弹性基础设施。 该项目采用收敛方法来研究北极冷冻共享（FC），该计划被定义为冰，雪和永久冻土景观，由社区和许多非本地利益相关者共同使用和管理。尽管围绕生物物理特征的生物物理特征存在重要的知识，但这仍然与当地和土著社区之间的文化和社会理解不同，这在北极快速变化的北极地区的使用和治理方面达到了不良的整合和治理。对冷冻公地的社会，文化，技术，环境和治理领域中相互作用过程的增强理解对于构建可持续的北极期货至关重要。该项目通过融合艺术，科学，本地和土著知识系统（Artslink）进行跨学科研究，以对FC韧性和可持续性有更深入的了解。 ArtSLInK encompasses synchronous, equitable, co-productive engagement across the social and natural sciences, the arts and place-based local and Indigenous knowledge systems, each with their distinct modes of exploration and expression.This project integrates social, technological, and environmental domains of frozen commons, and explicitly engages with governance implications across diverse worldviews and management narratives.该项目解决了三个研究问题：1）在文化上多样化的土著和当地社区以及区域利益相关者中认可了哪些FC，2）它们在特定的文化领域内如何管理？和3）3）什么是主要的社会文化，环境，技术，技术，基础结构和基础结构驱动力及其相互作用以及影响FC的韧性和维持能力的韧性和可靠性？该项目追求以下目标：（1）识别和库存社区相关的FC； （2）使用社会生态技术系统（Sets）框架来置于FC的知识； （3）了解影响FC的可用性，质量和使用的社会文化，环境和技术基础设施领域之间的相互作用； （4）使用集成的建模方法来确定在不断变化的条件下FC的弹性和可持续性的来源。该项目为俄罗斯和美国的两个乡村社区对（阿拉斯加）应用跨学科和比较研究框架，这些框架代表了不同社区规模，治理制度，社会经济安排和地理位置的代表。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并通过评估智能委员会和广阔的范围来评估支持者，并通过评估了支持。
