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革，例如脆弱性和适应持续的气候变化，需要访问多样化和跨学科数据集，以了解这些复杂过程的环境和文化驱动力。例如，对北极环境和社区的长期可持续性的研究需要从气候到考古学再到民间文学的数千平方英里，数百年和多个学科的数据编译数据。在大多数情况下，存在数据集可以解决这些问题，但是很难找到这些数据，使它们可以互操作，并以新的和有意义的方式分析和可视化它们，而无需进行广泛的计划，从而限制了解决这些问题的能力。该量表数据集的复杂性提出了创建数据管理系统的独特挑战，该系统可导致数据的互操作性和可访问性。 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考古学家，气候科学家，人文主义者和地方社区通过一系列的计划研讨会，着重于研究网络基础设施，以研究北大西洋的长期人类生态动力学，该地区尤其容易受到持续的气候和环境变化的影响。该项目的持续活动将使可持续性科学，考古学，地方和传统知识，跨学科研究以及K-11，大学和研究生的教育受益。该项目的最终目标是通过多个学科以及数十万平方英里的数十年来改变数十年来收集的数据的可访问性和实用性。这些数据将广泛使用，并与北大西洋及其他地区的研究人员和其他用户共享。在北大西洋地区以地区为重点的合作中所学到的经验教训将通过提案中指定的既定研究网络以及数据管理网络（包括研究数据联盟和NSF Arctic-Atrctic数据协调网络），通过正在进行的报告和社交网络在包括研究数据联盟和数据管理网络中广泛应用于世界其他地区。这些研究团队的网络提供了一个独特的机会，可以进行真正的变革性，协作的工作，以将自然科学，社会科学，环境人文，本地和传统知识，创新数据管理，可视化以及北部社区的直接参与联系起来，以解决北大西洋大西洋大西洋大西洋人类长期人类生态动力学的文化和环境动力。
