The Arctic is experiencing rapid environmental changes that present challenges to the natural environment, built environment, and social systems that have sustained Arctic peoples and ecosystems for generations. These changes are strongly evident in Arctic coastal systems. New research on Arctic coastal systems has been supported through both the Navigating the New Arctic (NNA) program and the Coastlines and People (CoPe) program. However, coordination and synthesis among these Arctic coastal projects and new perspectives are needed to fully understand these rapid changes. The project team will convene an Arctic Coasts workshop to bring together several large, convergent research project teams, Indigenous and local community members, and decision makers focused on Arctic coasts. The goal of the Arctic Coasts workshop is to bring together a diverse set of people to exchange knowledge and information about coastal hazard impacts, enhance collaborative networks, and deliver tangible products that support community priorities and lead to outcomes beyond the single workshop. The workshop will produce a report that: (1) enhances knowledge exchange across multiple groups for effective communication and collaboration; (2) identifies and documents key strategies to address natural/social/engineering issues resulting from environmental changes in the Arctic; (3) builds collaborative teams and identifies convergent research topics prioritized by community members; and (4) identifies educational needs, challenges, and opportunities for students in Arctic coastal communities. Ultimately, the Arctic Coasts workshop contributes to the NNA goal of empowering new research partnerships from local to international scales, diversifying the next generation of Arctic researchers, enhancing efforts in formal and informal education, and integrating the co-production of knowledge where appropriate.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.

北极正在经历迅速的环境变化，这对自然环境，建筑环境和社会系统提出了挑战，这些挑战是世代相传的北极人民和生态系统。这些变化在北极沿海系统中很明显。通过导航新的北极（NNA）计划和海岸线和人（COPE）计划，已经支持了有关北极沿海系统的新研究。但是，需要这些北极沿海项目和新观点之间的协调和综合，以充分了解这些快速变化。该项目团队将召集北极海岸研讨会，将几个大型，融合的研究项目团队，土著和本地社区成员以及专注于北极海岸的决策者组合在一起。北极沿岸研讨会的目标是将各种各样的人汇集在一起​​，以交换有关沿海危害影响，增强协作网络的知识和信息，并提供有形的产品，以支持社区优先事项并带来超越单一研讨会的成果。研讨会将提出一份报告：（1）增强各组之间的知识交流，以进行有效的沟通和协作； （2）确定和文件的关键策略，以解决北极环境变化引起的自然/社会/工程问题； （3）建立协作团队并确定社区成员优先级的融合研究主题； （4）确定北极沿海社区学生的教育需求，挑战和机会。最终，北极海岸研讨会有助于NNA的目标，即赋予新的研究伙伴关系到国际规模，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，并将合适的合适知识的共同生产整合到合适的地方。这一奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并通过评估范围来弥补，这是通过评估的范围来进行的。
