这个项目始于2015年10月，有一个疯狂的想法：在接下来的48小时内准备并提交一份国际，多学科和非传统科学推广项目的资金申请。好吧，成功了。一群来自加拿大和欧洲的年轻研究人员联合起来，将联合收割机艺术和科学结合起来，制作了一系列关于永久冻土的宣传漫画。该项目的目的是介绍和解释在北极圈进行的科学研究，重点是实地工作和迅速变化的北方环境。目标受众是儿童，青少年，家长和教师，总体目标是使永久冻土科学更有趣，更容易为公众所接受。因为你猜怎么着：永久冻土代表了北方半球超过两千万平方公里的面积，一个巨大的面积。随着气候变暖，永久冻土融化，对房屋、道路和机场来说变得不稳定。这种以前冻结的土地的快速解冻也破坏了植物和动物的栖息地，影响水质和湖泊生态，并将碳作为温室气体释放到大气中，使气候变化更加强烈。因此，永久冻土及其对气候变化的反应关系到我们所有人。该项目得到了国际永久冻土协会（IPA）作为目标“行动小组”的初步支持，此后其他几个赞助商也加入了该项目。我们现在在这里，两年后，这个第一个想法。你即将读到的是艺术家和科学家之间反复交换想法的结果。我们首先打了一个申请电话，收到了来自16个国家的49位艺术家的申请。通过正式的审查程序，我们选择了两名艺术家参与这个项目：来自加拿大的Noemie Ross和来自芬兰的Heta Naas。在科学家的帮助下，Noemie和Heta创作了精彩的漫画，解释了永久冻土区环境发生的一些变化，它们如何影响人类和野生动物，以及科学家正在做些什么来更好地了解这些变化，以帮助人们找到适应的创新方法。我们希望每个人都有很多乐趣阅读这本小册子，我们要感谢所有那些谁支持这个项目。
This project started in October 2015 with a crazy idea: prepare and submit a funding application for an international, multidisciplinary and non-traditional scientific outreach project… within the next 48 hours. Well, it worked out. A group of highly motivated young researchers from Canada and Europe united to combine arts and science and produce a series of outreach comic strips about permafrost (frozen ground). The aim of the project is to present and explain scientific research conducted across the circumpolar Arctic, placing emphasis on field work and the rapidly changing northern environment. The target audience is kids, youth, parents and teachers, with the general goal of making permafrost science more fun and accessible to the public. Because guess what : permafrost represents an area of more than twenty million km2 in the Northern Hemisphere, a huge area. As the climate warms, permafrost thaws and becomes unstable for houses, roads and airports. This rapid thawing of previously frozen ground also disrupts plant and animal habitats, impacts water quality and the ecology of lakes, and releases carbon into the atmosphere as greenhouse gases, making climate change even stronger. Hence permafrost and its response to climate change concerns us all. The project received initial support from the International Permafrost Association (IPA) as a targeted ‘Action Group’, and since then several other sponsors have joined the project. Here we are, now, two years after this first idea. What you are about to read is the result of an iterative process of exchanging ideas between artists and scientists. We first made an application call and received 49 applications from artists in 16 countries. Through a formal review process, we then selected two artists to work on this project: Noemie Ross from Canada, and Heta Naas from Finland. With input from scientists, Noemie and Heta created fantastic cartoons that explain some of the changes happening to the environment in permafrost areas, how they affect people and wildlife, and what scientists are doing to better understand these changes to help people find innovative ways to adapt. We wish everyone plenty of fun reading this booklet and we would like to thank all those who supported this project.
