Study of Environmental Arctic Change: Supporting goals and implementation through enhanced planning, assessment of past activities and coordination with international efforts

北极环境变化研究（SEARCH）综合研究成果，促进跨学科和机构之间的北极科学，协调国家北极环境科学计划，促进跨尺度的研究活动的整合，从规划过程的开始就纳入利益相关者的关注，为北极利益相关者、决策者和公众提供信息资源，帮助他们应对北极环境变化。并在国际和全球变化研究倡议中代表美国北极环境变化科学界。实现这些目标依赖于一系列的协调、规划和评估活动。该项目将在北极快速变化和机构和社会层面的迫切信息需求的时代，通过SEARCH计划的领导提供这些。在SEARCH的支持下，该项目将支持一系列活动，目标是(1)战略规划，(2)评估和实施，(3)协调和(4)通过科学指导委员会的领导和SEARCH合作机构、关键的国家和国际项目以及重要利益相关者的参与进行沟通。虽然拟议的活动本身不包括任何科学研究，但它们通过建立一个框架来促进一系列学科的先进、跨领域研究，从而有助于促进科学发现和创新。对过去的研究和协调活动的评估以及跨学科、综合北极科学（未发表的）进展的交流将使研究界参与进来，并产生新的发现和见解。跨学科和国际研究活动的加强协调所产生的协同作用将导致对总体研究问题的新视角，而这反过来又可能导致新的发现。更广泛的影响：该项目活动有助于美国研究界和SEARCH合作机构制定协调和有效的应对措施，以应对与北极环境和社会经济快速变化相关的挑战和机遇。特别是，该项目致力于支持SEARCH的工作，为帮助社会了解和应对快速变化的北极提供科学基础，从而在了解北极环境变化的基础上做出决策。

The Study of Environmental Arctic Change (SEARCH) synthesizes research findings and promotes arctic science across disciplines and among agencies, coordinates national arctic environmental science programs and facilitates integration of research activities across scales with stakeholder concerns incorporated from the start of the planning process, provides information resources to arctic stakeholders, policy-makers, and the public to help them respond to arctic environmental change, and represents the U.S. arctic environmental change science community in international and global change research initiatives. Meeting these goals relies on a range of coordination, planning and assessment activities. This project will provide these through leadership of the SEARCH program in a time of rapid Arctic change and urgent information needs at the agency and societal level. Under the auspices of SEARCH, this project will support a range of activities targeting (1) strategic planning, (2) assessment and implementation, (3) coordination and (4) communication through leadership of the Science Steering Committee and engagement of SEARCH partner agencies, key national and international programs and important stakeholders.While the proposed activities do not comprise any scientific research as such, they serve to advance scientific discovery and innovation by building a framework that fosters advanced, cross-cutting research in a range of disciplines. Assessments of past research and coordination activities as well as communication of (unpublished) advances in interdisciplinary, integrated Arctic science will engage the research community and lead to new findings and insights. Synergy derived from enhanced coordination of cross-disciplinary and international research activities will lead to new perspectives on overarching research questions which in turn are likely to lead to new discoveries.Broader impacts: The project activities help the US research community and SEARCH partner agencies in developing a coordinated and effective response to the challenges and opportunities associated with rapid arctic environmental and socio-economic change. In particular, the project works to support the SEARCH effort in providing a scientific foundation to help society understand and respond to a rapidly changing Arctic, leading to decision-making informed by an understanding of arctic environmental change.
