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, natural environment, and built environment in the following NNA focus areas: Arctic Residents, Education, and Resilient Infrastructure.The state of Alaska and many other areas of the Arctic are seismically active, experiencing thousands of earthquakes with different magnitudes every year. Given the vulnerability of the Artic to earthquakes and the accelerating environmental and social changes, it is critical to evaluate the resiliency of the region’s infrastructure to seismic events in the context of the natural environment, built environment, and social systems and understand how these changes interact and impact the region’s preparedness and response to earthquakes. The overarching goals of this NNA Collaborative Research project are to: 1) Improve the fundamental understanding of the impact of Arctic changes on the region’s preparedness and response to future earthquakes through seismic monitoring/modeling, community engagement, and targeted investigations of the interactions between the relevant components of the natural environment, built environment, and social systems; and 2) Enhance the seismic resilience of Arctic communities by providing them with the necessary training and tools to manage future earthquake-related disasters including planning, preparedness, mitigation, and recovery. The project research and education activities will include targeted research studies, workshops, and workforce development including the training and mentoring of three graduate students at the University of New Hampshire, one graduate student and an undergraduate student at the University of Georgia, one graduate student at Pennsylvania State University, one graduate student at the University of Alaska Fairbanks, and one graduate student at the University of Virginia.This NNA Collaborative Research project builds upon the results of a planning grant and a workshop with significant community input that identified six major community concerns and high priority research topics regarding the seismic challenges facing the new Arctic and the region’s preparedness and resilience to manage future earthquake-related disasters. To address these challenges, the Principal Investigators (PIs) of this NNA Collaborative Research project propose to carry out a convergent research and education program structured around four strategic pillars and objectives. The specific objectives of the research include 1) Infrastructure seismic response assessment under climate-driven changes of the Arctic ground through the monitoring of key infrastructure systems in Alaska in combination with centrifuge physical modeling to simulate and evaluate the impact of permafrost thawing on soils and building/infrastructure foundations, 2) Co-development of equitable seismic resilience capacities for local communities through surveys, interviews, and participatory mapping workshops, 3) Seismic resilience modeling and assessment through systems dynamics modeling, review of seismic design/planning strategies, and climate adaptation planning at community and state levels, and 4) Outreach and education through ACE youth training camps, STEM research experience for Indigenous youth, and an international workshop on Arctic seismic resilience and adaptation. The successful completion of this project has the potential for transformative impact by seeding and catalyzing research that could lead to breakthroughs in fundamental science and engineering, informed by community participation and Indigenous knowledge, to address seismic challenges facing the new Arctic and improve the region’s preparedness and response to future earthquake-related disasters.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。需要进行这项北极研究，以告知国家，较大地区和地球的经济，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焦点领域的社会系统，自然环境和建筑环境之间的互动来实现这一目标的一部分：北极居民，教育和韧性基础设施。阿拉斯加和北极的许多其他领域都具有地震活跃，每年都有数千次地震。鉴于货币对地震的脆弱性以及加速环境和社会变化的脆弱性，在自然环境，建筑环境和社会系统的背景下，评估该地区基础设施对地震事件的弹性至关重要，并了解这些变化如何相互作用并影响该地区对地震的准备和反应。该NNA协作研究项目的总体目标是：1）通过地震监测/建模，社区参与，有针对性的投资对北极变化对该地区的准备和对未来地震的反应的影响的基本了解，以及对自然环境，建筑环境和社会系统相关组成部分之间的相互作用的有针对性投资； 2）通过为北极社区提供必要的培训和工具来管理未来与地震相关的灾难，包括计划，准备，缓解和康复，从而增强北极社区的地震弹性。项目研究和教育活动将包括有针对性的研究，讲习班和劳动力发展，包括在新罕布什尔大学对三名研究生的培训和心理化，一名研究生和一名乔治亚州大学的一名研究生，宾夕法尼亚州立大学的一名研究生，一位是Alaska Fairbank的研究生研究生的研究生。计划赠款和一个具有重要社区意见的研讨会的结果，确定了有关新北极以及该地区对管理未来地震相关灾害的新北极和弹性的六个主要社区关注和高优先研究主题。为了应对这些挑战，该NNA协作研究项目建议的主要研究人员（PIS）旨在执行围绕四个战略支柱和目标的收敛研究和教育计划。该研究的具体目标包括1）通过监测阿拉斯加的关键基础设施系统的监控，在气候驱动的基础驱动的基础构造反应评估中，与离心机物理模型结合使用，以模拟和评估Permafrost解冻对土壤和建筑/基础结构基础的影响的影响，以使其通过equielitiations co-Dequilitiations equilition equilition equilition equilition equilition equilition equilitiation equilition quical，调查，访谈和参与映射研讨会，3）通过系统动态建模，地震设计/计划策略的审查以及社区和州级的气候适应计划以及通过ACE青年培训营的外展和教育，对土著青年的STEM研究经验以及国际工作的研究经验和适应于Arctience Resience和Apatione和Adatient anctient和Apatione和Apatione和适应，调查，访谈和参与映射映射研讨会，3）地震弹性建模和评估。该项目的成功完成通过播种和催化研究可能会产生变革性的影响，这可能会导致基本的科学和工程学的突破，这是由于社区参与和土著知识所带来的，以应对新北极面临的地震挑战，并通过对未来地震相关的灾难的准备和反应来改善该地区的措施，并改善了与NSF的依据，并改善了对NSF的代表的反映。智力优点和更广泛的影响审查标准。
