A Proposal to Identify Future Directions in Coastal Science Research

这一奖项是为了初步规划一个可能的研讨会，该研讨会将把沿海科学界聚集在一起，并确定下一个十年的研究优先事项。讲习班和相关的在线讨论将致力于收集和综合沿海研究界关于沿海研究未来的变革性想法，并确定需要填补的空白，以便在适当的水平上了解沿海系统，以应对人类与沿海环境互动的可持续性所面临的当代挑战。规划者将讨论如何针对各种沿海和类似环境(例如，近岸、海滩和海浪带水动力和地貌动力学；沙质海岸线和障碍岛；岩石海岸线；三角洲；河口；沼泽、红树林和其他潮汐环境；碳酸盐海岸；极地环境)的研究社区。参加讲习班的学科和跨学科方法将包括生态形态动力学(生物/物理耦合)；人为因素(人/地耦合；与直接人类操纵和土地利用对沿海环境的影响两者的耦合)；陆地/沿海相互作用(河流与海岸线的相互作用以及三角洲动力学)；陆架/沿海相互作用(浅水和陆架过程、气候和海平面上升影响)；生物地球化学和大气相互作用。

This award is for initial planning of a possible workshop that will bring together the coastal science community and identify research priorities for the next decade. The workshop and associated online discussion will be dedicated to collecting and synthesizing transformative ideas from coastal research communities on the future of coastal research and to identify gaps that need to be filled to achieve an understanding of coastal systems at a level appropriate for contemporary challenges to the sustainability of human interactions with coastal environments. The planners will discuss how to target research communities addressing questions in various coastal and allied environments (e.g., nearshore, beach and surf zone hydro and morphodynamics; sandy coastlines and barrier islands; rocky coastlines; deltas; estuaries; marshes, mangroves and other tidal settings; carbonate coasts; polar settings. Disciplinary and interdisciplinary approaches to be represented in the workshop will include ecomorphodynamics (bio/physical couplings); anthropogenic components (human/landscape couplings; both couplings with direct human manipulations and land-use effects on coastal environments); terrestrial/coastal interactions (fluvial couplings with coastline as well as delta dynamics); shelf/coastal interactions (shallow-water and shelf processes, climate and sea-level-rise effects); biogeochemistry and atmospheric interactions.
