Session Abstract:
The U.S. National Science Foundation’s Navigating the New Arctic (NNA) initiative aims to improve understanding of Arctic change and to advance actionable and societally relevant information through research that draws on information and expertise from across disciplines and knowledge systems, including Indigenous Knowledge, to solve complex challenges.
This meeting will highlight both existing international NNA research partnerships and opportunities for new international collaboration. NNA projects will showcase their work, and discuss how they are approaching international collaboration in the Arctic, where they have seen progress and opportunity, and where persistent challenges may remain. We're additionally inviting perspectives on how NNA research is contributing to Arctic observing systems.
Current NNA researchers and collaborators are invited, along with anyone interested in learning more about NNA and related opportunities.
