项目摘要

Navigating the New Arctic (NNA) is one of NSF's 10 Big Ideas. NNA projects address convergence scientific challenges in the rapidly changing Arctic. This Arctic research is needed to inform the economy, security and resilience of the Nation, the larger region, and the globe. NNA empowers new research partnerships from local to international scales, diversifies the next generation of Arctic researchers, enhances efforts in formal and informal education, and integrates the co-production of knowledge where appropriate. This award fulfills some of these aims by addressing interactions among social systems, natural environment, and built environment in the following NNA focus areas: Arctic Residents, Education, and Resilient Infrastructure. Alaska, like much of the Arctic, is considered food insecure as roughly 95% of food is imported. With the rapid rate of northern latitude climate change, a new agricultural frontier has emerged in the discontinuous permafrost region. The future of northern cultivation depends on science and an informed knowledge base for a new generation of Arctic farmers. For northern agricultural expansion to be successful and solution-oriented, better understanding of the feedbacks between cultivation and permafrost is necessary. The Permafrost Grown project brings together researchers and permafrost-region farmers to better understand the feedbacks between farming and fertile, yet vulnerable permafrost soils. The project enhances education and workforce development for early career researchers, undergraduate and graduate students, and northern region farmers. Community engagement is fostered through the publication of field guides and outreach videos, workshops, and exhibits. The Permafrost Grown project fills important scientific knowledge gaps that will ultimately help improve national food security and economic resiliency. The Permafrost Grown project accelerates scientific discovery through promoting forward-thinking convergence among studies of the natural environment (permafrost, geomorphology, and ecosystems), the built environment (agricultural infrastructure), and social systems (economic, social, and cultural forces) by focusing on the interactions between permafrost and cultivation practices. This highly coupled system is defined as the permafrost-agroecosystem, and the research focuses on how permafrost type and degradation affect agricultural infrastructure, how agriculture and cultivation impact different types of permafrost, and how the knowledge creation between researchers and the Arctic farming community can develop sustainable, adaptable, and resilient permafrost-agroecosystems. The project uses a combination of field data collection, remote sensing techniques, cultivar trials, existing agriculture experience, interviews, and socio-economic risk modeling to address the following four objectives: (1) investigating the feedbacks and interactions within the permafrost-agroecosystems by co-producing knowledge with farmers in Alaska; (2) understanding and quantifying the legacy effects of permafrost-agroecosystem interactions over the last 100 to 300 years; (3) evaluating the socio-economic trade-offs and providing decision tools related to the intensification of permafrost-agroecosystems in the Arctic; and (4) broadening public and farmer participation through education and outreach activities focused on advancing knowledge and fostering opportunities for improved food security in the Arctic. The Permafrost Grown project advances fundamental knowledge by providing a basis for predicting the combined impacts of climate change and cultivation on permafrost-agroecosystems.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

NSF的10个大创意之一是导航新北极（NNA）。 NNA项目应对北极快速变化的融合科学挑战。需要进行这项北极研究，以告知国家，较大地区和地球的经济，安全和弹性。 NNA赋予从本地量表到国际规模的新研究伙伴关系，使下一代北极研究人员多样化，加强了正规和非正式教育方面的努力，并在适当的情况下整合了知识的共同生产。该奖项通过在以下NNA焦点领域中解决社会系统，自然环境和建筑环境之间的互动来实现其中的一些目标：北极居民，教育和弹性基础设施。像大部分北极一样，阿拉斯加被认为是食品不安全的，因为大约有95％的食物被进口。随着北纬度气候变化的速度迅速，不连续的多年冻土区域出现了新的农业边界。北部种植的未来取决于科学和新一代北极农民知情的知识基础。为了使北部的农业扩张成功和以解决方案为导向，需要更好地了解耕作和永久冻土之间的反馈。永久冻土种植的项目汇集了研究人员和多年冻土区农民，以更好地了解农业和肥沃但脆弱的多年冻土土壤之间的反馈。该项目改善了早期职业研究人员，本科生和研究生以及北部地区农民的教育和劳动力发展。通过出版现场指南和外展视频，讲习班和展览来促进社区参与。永久冻土种植的项目填补了重要的科学知识空白，最终将有助于提高国家粮食安全和经济弹性。永久冻土成长的项目通过在自然环境研究（Permafrost，地貌和生态系统）之间，建筑环境（农业基础设施）以及社会系统（经济，社会和文化力量）之间促进前瞻性融合来加速科学发现。这个高度耦合的系统被定义为多年冻土 - agroecosystem，研究重点是长期冻土类型和退化如何影响农业基础设施，农业和耕种如何影响不同类型的多年冻土，以及研究人员与大型农业社区之间的知识创造以及如何发展可持续的perma和permaigrys和Recrecross和Remirys-agtrofforys。该项目结合了现场数据收集，遥感技术，品种试验，现有的农业经验，访谈和社会经济风险建模，以解决以下四个目标：（1）通过与阿拉斯加的农民共同生产知识，研究多年弗罗斯特 - 阿格鲁生殖系统中的反馈和相互作用；（2）了解和量化过去100至300年中多年冻土 - 阿格罗系统相互作用的遗产影响；（3）评估社会经济权衡，并提供与北极中多晶冻土的强化有关的决策工具；（4）通过教育和外展活动扩大公众和农民的参与，重点是促进知识和促进北极粮食安全的机会。永久冻土成长的项目通过提供基本知识来预测气候变化和培养对永久冻土 - 阿格罗生态系统的综合影响的基础知识。这项奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是值得通过基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的影响审查标准来通过评估来通过评估来支持的。
