Michigan Technological University received a $1,300,516 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) to develop the Advancing Re- and Co-Use in Arctic Industrial Development (ARCAID) framework, which addresses the cumulative environmental, social, and economic impacts of expanding mining operations in the Arctic. The award, effective July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2029, will deliver a digital assessment and negotiation platform grounded in Value Efficiency Analysis methodology. This platform will enable communities, companies, governments, and stakeholders to identify priorities, communicate differences, and identify conflict-minimizing solutions for managing overlapping land uses in mining regions where industrial development intersects with reindeer herding, fishing, tourism, forestry, and indigenous land use. The research team will co-develop and test the platform and assessment methods across three Arctic case study locations: Narsaq in southern Greenland, Sodankylä in Finnish Lapland, and Gällivare in northern Sweden. The project will advance scholarship in sustainability science, political geology, and mineral diplomacy while generating tools and policy guidance for policymakers, regulatory agencies, mining companies, Arctic municipalities, and indigenous communities. Deliverables will support evidence-based decision-making on infrastructure reuse and repurposing rather than site abandonment following mine closure, directly benefiting stakeholders managing critical mineral supply chains alongside existing regional economic and cultural activities.Federal Grant Award Summary
