项目摘要

In order to understand large-scale and long-term ecological and social change, such as vulnerability and adaptation to ongoing climate change, access to diverse and interdisciplinary datasets is needed to understand both the environmental and cultural drivers of these complex processes. For example, research on the long-term sustainability of Arctic environments and communities requires compiling data from over thousands of square miles, hundreds of years, and multiple disciplines, from climatology to archaeology to folklore. In most cases, datasets exist to be able to address these questions, but it remains difficult to find these data, make them interoperable, and analyze and visualize them in new and meaningful ways without extensive planning, thus restricting the ability to address these questions. The complexity of datasets of this scale presents a unique challenge to create a data management system that results in the interoperability and accessibility of data. Investing in a comprehensive data management system provides the opportunity to integrate collaborators and data from the natural sciences, social sciences, and the humanities, thus providing the opportunity for a holistic approach to long-term human ecodynamics in the context of rapid social and environmental change and for the creation of digital tools for expanded capacity to do global change research and engage other users, such as the general public, students, and indigenous populations.This project will solidify a developing multidisciplinary community of archaeologists, climate scientists, humanists, and local communities through a series of planning workshops with a focus on the development of cyberinfrastructure to study the long-term human ecodynamics of North Atlantic, a region that is especially vulnerable to ongoing climate and environmental change. Ongoing activities of this project will benefit sustainability science, integration of archaeology, local and traditional knowledge, cross-disciplinary research, and the education of K-12, college, and graduate students. The ultimate goal of this project is to transform the accessibility and utility of data collected over multiple decades by multiple disciplines, and across hundreds of thousands of square miles. These data will be widely available and shared with researchers and other users both in the North Atlantic and beyond. The lessons learned in this regionally focused collaboration in the North Atlantic will be applied widely to other regions of the world through the established research networks named in the proposal, as well as data management networks, including the Research Data Alliance and the NSF Arctic-Antarctic Data Coordination Network, through ongoing reports and social networks. The networking of these the research team offers a unique opportunity to conduct genuinely transformative, collaborative work to connect natural science, social science, environmental humanities, local and traditional knowledge, innovative data management, visualization, and direct involvement of northern communities in order to address the cultural and environmental drivers of the long-term human ecodynamics of the North Atlantic.

为了了解大规模和长期的生态和社会变化，如对持续气候变化的脆弱性和适应性，需要获得多样化和跨学科的数据集，以了解这些复杂过程的环境和文化驱动因素。例如，对北极环境和社区长期可持续性的研究需要汇编数千平方英里、数百年和多学科的数据，从气候学到考古学再到民俗学。在大多数情况下，数据集的存在能够解决这些问题，但仍然很难找到这些数据，使它们具有互操作性，并在没有广泛规划的情况下以新的和有意义的方式分析和可视化它们，从而限制了解决这些问题的能力。这种规模的数据集的复杂性对创建一个数据管理系统提出了独特的挑战，该系统导致数据的互操作性和可访问性。投资于一个综合数据管理系统提供了整合合作者和来自自然科学、社会科学和人文科学的数据的机会，从而提供了在社会和环境迅速变化的背景下对长期人类生态动力学采取综合办法的机会，并提供了创造数字化工具的机会，以扩大进行全球变化研究和吸引其他用户，如公众参与的能力，该项目将通过一系列规划讲习班，巩固一个由考古学家、气候科学家、人文主义者和当地社区组成的正在发展的多学科社区，重点是发展网络基础设施，以研究北大西洋的长期人类生态动力学，该地区特别容易受到持续气候和环境变化的影响。该项目正在进行的活动将有利于可持续发展科学，考古学，地方和传统知识，跨学科研究的整合，以及K-12，大学和研究生的教育。该项目的最终目标是改变数十年来由多个学科收集的数据的可访问性和实用性，并跨越数十万平方英里。这些数据将广泛提供，并与北大西洋及其他地区的研究人员和其他用户共享。在北大西洋这一以区域为重点的合作中吸取的经验教训将通过提案中提到的现有研究网络以及数据管理网络，包括研究数据联盟和国家科学基金会北极-南极数据协调网络，通过不断提交的报告和社交网络，广泛应用于世界其他区域。这些研究团队的网络提供了一个独特的机会，进行真正的变革，协作工作，连接自然科学，社会科学，环境人文，地方和传统知识，创新的数据管理，可视化，并直接参与北方社区，以解决文化和环境驱动因素的长期人类生态动力学的北大西洋。
