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.

该奖项的全部或部分资金根据《2021 年美国救援计划法案》（公法 117-2）提供。“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。这项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。该奖项通过解决以下 NNA 重点领域中社会系统、自然环境和建筑环境之间的相互作用来实现该目标的一部分：北极居民、数据和观测、教育、预测和弹性基础设施。 该项目应用聚合方法来研究北极冰冻共享区（FC），其定义为由社区和众多非当地利益相关者共同使用和管理的冰、雪和永久冻土景观。虽然关于冰冻圈的生物物理特征存在大量知识，但这在很大程度上仍然与当地和土著社区的文化和社会理解相分离，最终导致在快速变化的北极地区对冰冻公地的使用和治理的整合不佳。加深对冰冻公地社会、文化、技术、环境和治理领域相互作用过程的理解对于构建可持续的北极未来至关重要。该项目通过融合艺术、科学、当地和土著知识系统 (ArtSLInK) 来推进跨学科研究，以加深对 FC 复原力和可持续性的理解。 ArtSLInK 涵盖社会和自然科学、艺术和基于地方的本地和土著知识系统的同步、公平、共同生产的参与，每个系统都有其独特的探索和表达模式。该项目整合了社会、技术和环境领域冻结公地，并明确参与不同世界观和管理叙事的治理影响。该项目解决了三个研究问题：1) 哪些 FC 得到了文化多元化的原住民和当地社区以及区域利益相关者的认可；2) 它们在特定的文化领域内如何进行治理？以及 3) 主要的社会文化、环境、技术和影响因素是什么？影响 FC 弹性和可持续性的基础设施驱动力及其相互关系？该项目追求以下目标： (1) 识别和清查社区相关功能区； (2) 使用社会生态技术系统（SETS）框架来定位 FC 知识； (3) 了解影响 FC 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) 使用综合建模方法来确定 FC 在不断变化的条件下的弹性和可持续性来源。该项目针对俄罗斯和美国（阿拉斯加）的两个城乡社区对应用跨学科和比较研究框架，这两个社区代表了不同的社区规模、治理制度、社会经济安排和地理位置。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并已通过使用基金会的智力优点和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，认为值得支持。
