The PI proposes to hold a workshop to address the problem of coastal erosion in the Arctic. Erosion of the coastline may be responsible for delivering as much sediment to the shelf as the rivers currently deliver. Workshop participants will document the dynamics of circum-Arctic coastlines including rates of transgression and regression as a function of ice content of permafrost, near shore bathymetry, and sea level changes. The information from the workshop is important for developing models of coastal evolution in the Arctic because the impact of global warming could be greatest in the Arctic, particularly on coastal erosion. The results of the workshop are important for assessing the impact of erosion on coastal communities as well as the delivery of increased sediments to the continental shelf.

PI建议举办一次研讨会，以解决北极海岸侵蚀问题。 海岸线的侵蚀可能是河流目前向大陆架输送沉积物的原因。 讲习班参加者将记录环北极海岸线的动态，包括海侵和海退率作为永久冻土冰含量、近海岸水深和海平面变化的函数。 研讨会提供的信息对于建立北极海岸演变模型很重要，因为全球变暖对北极的影响可能最大，特别是对海岸侵蚀的影响。 研讨会的结果对于评估侵蚀对沿海社区的影响以及向大陆架输送更多沉积物的情况十分重要。
