Participants in this workshop seek to advance understanding of emergent security challenges in the Arctic, evaluating the multiplier effects of accelerated climate change on environmental, economic, and social systems. They explore to what extent conventional security assumptions are appropriate for understanding the dynamic Arctic strategic landscape and address issues such as threats to infrastructure, international hazard response, and public health. The workshop is structured to foster discussion and debate, stimulate new research agendas, and provide opportunities for attendees, including graduate and undergraduate students, to become more familiar with pressing Arctic issues. Five graduate students and ten undergraduate students selected through a competitive process will have the opportunity to participate, with emphasis on recruiting from a diverse applicant pool. Other activities include a student essay contest and outreach to local middle and high school students through the University of Southern California’s Center for Active Learning in International Studies (CALIS).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.

这次研讨会的参与者寻求增进对北极紧急安全挑战的了解，评估气候变化加速对环境、经济和社会系统的倍增影响。他们探讨了常规安全假设在多大程度上适合理解动态的北极战略格局，并解决基础设施威胁、国际灾害应对和公共卫生等问题。研讨会旨在促进讨论和辩论，激发新的研究议程，并为包括研究生和本科生在内的与会者提供机会，让他们更熟悉紧迫的北极问题。通过竞争过程选出的5名研究生和10名本科生将有机会参加，重点是从不同的申请者库中招聘。其他活动包括学生作文比赛和通过南加州大学国际研究积极学习中心(CALIS)向当地初中生推广。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
