Conference: Convergence Approaches to Arctic Coasts

北极正在经历快速的环境变化，对自然环境、建筑环境和社会系统提出了挑战，而这些环境和社会系统是北极人民和生态系统世世代代的基础。这些变化在北极沿海系统中非常明显。北极海岸系统的新研究得到了新北极导航（NNA）计划和北极线与人（科普）计划的支持。然而，这些北极沿海项目之间的协调和综合以及新的视角需要充分理解这些快速变化。该项目小组将召开一次北极海岸研讨会，汇集几个大型的、趋同的研究项目小组、土著和当地社区成员以及专注于北极海岸的决策者。北极海岸研讨会的目标是汇集各种各样的人，交流有关沿海灾害影响的知识和信息，加强合作网络，并提供支持社区优先事项的有形产品，并导致超出单一研讨会的成果。研讨会将编写一份报告，以：（1）加强多个群体之间的知识交流，以促进有效的沟通和合作;（2）确定并记录解决北极环境变化引起的自然/社会/工程问题的关键战略;（3）建立合作团队，并确定社区成员优先考虑的趋同研究主题;以及（4）确定北极沿海社区学生的教育需求、挑战和机遇。最终，北极海岸研讨会有助于实现NNA的目标，即增强从地方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，加强正规和非正规教育的努力，并将共同-该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的评估被认为值得支持。影响审查标准。

The Arctic is experiencing rapid environmental changes that present challenges to the natural environment, built environment, and social systems that have sustained Arctic peoples and ecosystems for generations. These changes are strongly evident in Arctic coastal systems. New research on Arctic coastal systems has been supported through both the Navigating the New Arctic (NNA) program and the Coastlines and People (CoPe) program. However, coordination and synthesis among these Arctic coastal projects and new perspectives are needed to fully understand these rapid changes. The project team will convene an Arctic Coasts workshop to bring together several large, convergent research project teams, Indigenous and local community members, and decision makers focused on Arctic coasts. The goal of the Arctic Coasts workshop is to bring together a diverse set of people to exchange knowledge and information about coastal hazard impacts, enhance collaborative networks, and deliver tangible products that support community priorities and lead to outcomes beyond the single workshop. The workshop will produce a report that: (1) enhances knowledge exchange across multiple groups for effective communication and collaboration; (2) identifies and documents key strategies to address natural/social/engineering issues resulting from environmental changes in the Arctic; (3) builds collaborative teams and identifies convergent research topics prioritized by community members; and (4) identifies educational needs, challenges, and opportunities for students in Arctic coastal communities. Ultimately, the Arctic Coasts workshop contributes to the NNA goal of empowering new research partnerships from local to international scales, diversifying the next generation of Arctic researchers, enhancing efforts in formal and informal education, and integrating the co-production of knowledge where appropriate.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.
