项目摘要

Despite a rapid increase in citizen-acquired environmental observations (e.g., citizen science) no cohesive set of best practices or corresponding theories exists for building a broad science of Community-Based Observing (CBO). Current terms and meanings concerning community-based observing networks, community based monitoring, citizen science, and community observer blogs activities are often used interchangeably. Each, however, constitutes a different type of effort along a CBO continuum. By clearly defining what these activities are and what information they can contribute we can better help communities adapt to changing environmental conditions. The EyesNorth Research Coordinating Network (RCN) will involve a range of practitioners, from Native communities to federal agencies, to develop both a science and practice of CBO that will provide the critical connection between observing change and community preparedness and response. The EyesNorth RCN will coordinate activities around training and education-outreach programs among partners to generate and communicate the best practices for adoption across diverse monitoring activities. The EyesNorth RCN seeks to develop a science of Community-Based Observing leveraging core theories in resilience and adaptation science. It has four objectives that are co-developed with a range of partners from across the circumpolar North countries including Canada, Russia, the United States, Finland, Norway, Sweden, Iceland and Greenland. The network objective will achieve coordination across activities and organizations currently utilizing CBO for monitoring socio-environmental change in the Arctic and Subarctic. It will create a diverse, transdisciplinary network of users, scientists, and practitioners. The science objective will advance theory to build a science of CBO by developing new and refining existing theoretical connections among disciplines that drive the science of CBO in order to expand and enhance the transferability of adaptation actions by communities on the ground. The sustainability objective will define best practices across the CBO continuum including international data sharing protocols and protections that ensure Indigenous Knowledge and Local Place Based Knowledge are appropriately applied and determined by communities themselves. The education and training objective will ensure that best practices are co-developed rather than imposed and, through partnerships with communities from the Western United States, we will ensure transferability of lessons learned. These partnerships will: a) co-define a range of technology-enabled approaches that enable linked, scalable, and usable data for a range of end-users that will help inform management decisions whose actions affect the resilience of local communities ? where ?data? refers to the breadth of information about the world we live in; and b) transfer these approaches to produce practices that can be applied nationally and internationally. We will develop data and metadata standards necessary to facilitate the sharing of knowledge between researchers and communities which can serve as baselines for future CBO programs while also expanding the scope of current efforts so as to transfer and implement CBO in diverse communities and settings in the Western U.S. We engage with Industry, research and resource management practitioners about the types of data acquisition technologies most amenable to different types of CBO. Ultimately, the EyesNorth RCN will coalesce, for the first time, a broad range of CBO practitioners to design and leverage collaborative and equitable training and education activities with partners in the Arctic and Western U.S. yielding a science of CBO that can enhance the well-being and quality of life for all Americans.

尽管公民获得的环境观察迅速增加（例如，公民科学），对于建立基于社区的观察（CBO）的广泛科学，尚无凝聚力的最佳实践或相应理论。有关基于社区的观察网络，基于社区的监控，公民科学和社区观察者博客活动的当前条款和含义通常可以互换使用。但是，每种都构成了CBO连续体的不同类型的努力。通过明确定义这些活动是什么以及它们可以贡献什么信息，我们可以更好地帮助社区适应不断变化的环境条件。 Eyesnorth研究协调网络（RCN）将涉及一系列从从业者到联邦机构，以开发CBO的科学和实践，这些科学和实践将在观察变化与社区准备和反应之间提供关键的联系。 Eyesnorth RCN将在合作伙伴之间协调围绕培训和教育式课程计划的活动，以生成和传达各种监测活动中采用的最佳实践。 Eyesnorth RCN试图开发一门基于社区的科学，以抗韧性和适应科学领域的核心理论。它有四个目标，与来自加拿大，俄罗斯，美国，芬兰，挪威，瑞典，冰岛和格陵兰的各个北部国家的一系列合作伙伴共同开发。该网络目标将在目前利用CBO的活动和组织之间进行协调，以监视北极和亚北极地区的社会环境变化。它将建立一个由用户，科学家和从业者组成的多样化，跨学科的网络。科学目标将通过在学科之间建立新的和完善现有的理论联系，以推动CBO的科学，以扩大和增强社区的适应性行动的可转移性，从而促进CBO的理论。可持续性目标将定义整个CBO连续性的最佳实践，包括国际数据共享协议和保护措施，以确保由社区本身适当地应用和确定基于本地的知识和基于本地的知识。教育和培训目标将确保最佳实践是共同开发而不是强加的，并且通过与美国西部社区的合作伙伴关系，我们将确保获得经验教训的可转让性。这些合作伙伴关系将：a）共同定义一系列支持技术的方法，这些方法可以为一系列最终用户提供链接，可扩展和可用的数据，这些数据将有助于告知其行动影响当地社区的弹性的管理决策？数据在哪里？指有关我们生活的世界的广度； b）将这些方法转移到可以在国内和国际上应用的实践。我们将制定所需的数据和元数据标准，以促进研究人员和社区之间的知识共享，这些数据可以作为未来的CBO计划的基准，同时还扩大了当前努力的范围，以便在美国西部的多元化社区和环境中转移和实施CBO，我们与行业，研究和资源管理从事的研究和资源管理实践者有关大多数Amenable类型的Amenable oversable for Andersable for Dyters amenable oversable cobo of Cbo的行业，研究和资源管理实践者。最终，Eyesnorth RCN将首次合并CBO从业人员，以设计和利用与北极和美国西部的合作伙伴一起设计和利用协作和公平的培训和教育活动，从而产生了CBO科学，可以增强所有美国人的福祉和生活质量。
