RCN-SEES Arctic-FROST: Arctic FRontiers Of SusTainability: Resources, Societies, Environments and Development in the Changing North

RCN-看到北极霜冻：北极可持续性前沿：变化中的北方的资源、社会、环境和发展是一个国际跨学科合作网络和研究交流平台，旨在发展跨学科综合，并建立未来关于北极和亚北极可持续性和可持续发展的国际研究计划。作为国际极地年（IPY，2007-08）之后第一个这种规模的美国环极倡议，北极霜冻建立在IPY的成功基础上，提供了新的合作研究机会。该网络的目的是为北极及其他地区可持续性科学的概念、应用和教育方面做出贡献。北极霜冻团队环境和社会科学家，当地教育工作者和社区成员来自所有环极国家，以促进和动员对北极可持续发展的研究，特别是旨在改善健康，人类发展和福祉，同时保护生态系统结构，功能和资源。北极霜冻解决了三个首要问题：北极的可持续发展在当地、区域和全球意味着什么？如何在不断变化的北极实现可持续发展？衡量北极在适应、可持续发展和可持续发展方面取得的成就的最佳方式是什么？北极霜冻组织会议和研讨会，涉及年轻，土著学者和代表性不足的群体的成员，协调教育活动，介绍和研究成果的验证，通过研究人员/社区研讨会和教育举措。Arctic-FROST支持跨可持续区域、经济、文化和环境四个主题的知识传播和方法学交叉授粉。Arctic-FROST促进了数据共享和交换，为北极研究和网络基础设施做出了重大贡献。

RCN-SEES Arctic-FROST: Arctic Frontiers Of SusTainability: Resources, Societies, Environments and Development in the Changing North is an international interdisciplinary collaborative network and platform for research exchange, developing an interdisciplinary synthesis and establishing a future international research program about Arctic and sub-Arctic sustainability and sustainable development. The first US-based circumpolar initiative of this kind and magnitude after the International Polar Year (IPY, 2007-08), Arctic-FROST builds on IPY's success new collaborative research opportunities. The purpose of the network is to contribute to conceptual, applied and educational aspects of sustainability science about the Arctic and beyond. Arctic-FROST teams environmental and social scientists, local educators and community members from all circumpolar countries to enable and mobilize research on sustainable Arctic development, specifically aimed at improving health, human development and well-being while conserving ecosystem structures, functions and resources. Arctic-FROST addresses three overarching questions: What does sustainable development in the Arctic mean, locally, regionally, and globally? How is sustainable development attainable in a changing Arctic? What are the best ways of measuring achievements towards adaptation, thrivability and sustainable development in the Arctic? Arctic-FROST organizes meetings and workshops that involve young, Indigenous scholars and members of underrepresented groups, coordinates educational activities, presentation and validation of research results through researcher/community workshops and educational initiatives. Arctic-FROST supports knowledge dissemination and methodological cross-pollination across the four themes of sustainable regions, economies, cultures, and environments. Arctic-FROST facilitates data sharing and exchange, contributing significantly to Arctic research and cyberinfrastructure.
