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.

新北极航行（NNA）是NSF的十大创意之一。NNA项目解决快速变化的北极地区的趋同科学挑战。这项北极研究需要为国家、更大地区和地球仪的经济、安全和复原力提供信息。NNA授权从地方到国际规模的新的研究伙伴关系，使下一代北极研究人员多样化，加强正规和非正规教育的努力，并在适当的情况下整合知识的共同生产。该奖项通过解决以下NNA重点领域的社会系统，自然环境和建筑环境之间的相互作用来实现其中一些目标：北极居民，教育和弹性基础设施。阿拉斯加和北极的大部分地区一样，被认为是粮食不安全的，因为大约95%的粮食是进口的。随着北方纬度气候的快速变化，在不连续多年冻土区出现了一个新的农业前沿。北方种植的未来取决于科学和新一代北极农民的知情知识基础。为了使北方农业扩张取得成功并以解决方案为导向，有必要更好地了解耕作和永久冻土之间的反馈。永久冻土生长项目将研究人员和永久冻土地区的农民聚集在一起，以更好地了解农业与肥沃但脆弱的永久冻土之间的反馈。该项目加强了早期职业研究人员、本科生和研究生以及北方地区农民的教育和劳动力发展。通过出版实地指南和外联视频、讲习班和展览，促进社区参与。永久冻土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。该项目通过促进自然环境（永久冻土，地貌和生态系统），建筑环境（农业基础设施）和社会系统（经济，社会和文化力量）之间的前瞻性思维融合，通过关注永久冻土和耕作实践之间的相互作用来加速科学发现。这个高度耦合的系统被定义为永冻农业生态系统，研究重点是永冻类型和退化如何影响农业基础设施，农业和耕作如何影响不同类型的永冻，以及研究人员和北极农业社区之间的知识创造如何发展可持续，适应性和弹性的永冻农业生态系统。该项目综合利用了野外数据收集、遥感技术、品种试验、现有农业经验、访谈和社会经济风险模型，以实现以下四个目标：（1）通过与阿拉斯加农民共同生产知识，调查冻土-农业生态系统内的反馈和相互作用;（2）了解和量化过去100至300年来冻土-农业生态系统相互作用的遗留影响;（3）评价社会经济权衡，并提供与加强北极多年冻土农业生态系统有关的决策工具;（4）通过教育和推广活动扩大公众和农民的参与，重点是提高知识和促进改善北极粮食安全的机会。永久冻土种植项目通过为预测气候变化和种植对永久冻土农业生态系统的综合影响提供基础，推进了基础知识。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
