Northern Territories Conference, Akureyri, Iceland, Fall 2013

该奖项将支持一位从事早期科学事业的女性学者参加将于2013年秋季在冰岛阿库雷里举行的北方研究论坛。北方研究论坛（NRF）每两年举行一次公开大会。每次会议都侧重于与北方人和北方研究相关的不同主题。今年大会的主题是“北部地区的气候变化：分享经验，探索新方法，评估社会经济影响”。NRF的主要目标之一是通过让新兴学者参与领导，并选择一批早期职业研究人员在开放大会上展示他们的研究项目和发现，来促进下一代北极研究人员的发展。其目的是让早期职业研究人员与资深科学家、其他专业人员和专家以及各利益攸关方团体和公众的代表进行对话。该提案将支持来自美国的早期科学事业学者罗宾·布朗的参与。她将与来自其他北极国家的其他20多名青年研究人员一起，为交流思想和建立网络提供机会。博南博士的参与将为讨论北极环境变化的影响创造机会，并提高人们对与环境变化、社区可居住性和人口迁移相关的政策挑战的认识。通过参加北方领土会议，目标是开始建立一个国际研究团队的过程，专注于了解北极环境变化和人口流离失所之间的关系。

This award will support the participation of an early science career female scholar in the Northern Research Forum, which will be held in Akureyri, Iceland in the Fall 2013. The Northern Research Forum (NRF) holds an Open Assembly every two years. Each assembly focuses on a different theme of relevance to northerners and northern research. This years Assembly theme is Climate Change in Northern Territories: Sharing Experiences and Exploring New Methods, Assessing Socio-Economic Impacts.One of the main objectives of the NRF is to promote the next generation of Arctic researchers by involving emerging scholars in leadership and by selecting a cohort of early career researchers to present their research projects and findings at the Open Assemblies. The aim is to engage early career researchers in dialogue with senior scientists and other professionals and experts as well as representatives of various stakeholder groups and the public. This proposal will support the involvement of an early science career scholar from the United States: Robin Bronen. She will join more than 20 other Young Researchers from other Arctic nations, offering an opportunity for exchange of ideas and network building. Dr. Bonen's participation will create an opportunity to contribute to the discussion on the impacts of environmental change in the Arctic and raise awareness about the policy challenges related to environmental change, community habitability, and population displacement. Through participation in the Northern Territories conference, the goal is to begin the process of creating an international research team focused on understanding the nexus between environmental change and population displacement in the Arctic.
