PPSR: Blending cultural and environmental resilience with contemporary technology: cutting-edge environmental sensor workshop for loko i`a

在前一次欧共体奖(1538697)的资助下，格雷泽博士最近开发了低成本的海平面和水监测传感器，并成功地将这些传感器部署在瓦胡岛当地的鱼塘Paepae o He`eia。这些传感器是一项重要的创新，将补充或取代以前每台成本数万美元的监控设备的数据。该讲习班的目的是向夏威夷公众广泛提供新的工具，以了解沿海水位和潮汐过程的时空变化，这些过程通过滋扰洪水和海平面上升威胁社区。为期两天的研讨会将培训夏威夷社区成员在夏威夷群岛各地的鱼塘组装、安装和使用新传感器。PI将订购所有传感器部件，预装困难/关键部件，3D打印定制外壳底盘部件，并组装DIY套件和制造文档，以便在实际操作传感器组装和培训课程期间分发给约40名研讨会参与者。DIY传感器套件将允许夏威夷社区监测和量化近乎实时的海岸潮汐、洪水和海滩抬高风险。研讨会结束后，PI将继续与参与者接触，协调数据馈送，维护数据档案，并使用新组装和部署的传感器套件中的众包数据提供网络可视化工具。讲习班的共同组织伙伴Kua‘Aina Ulu’Auamo(Kua)将促进讲习班后的评估和调查。最终，这些传感器产生的数据将使科学家能够以以前不可能实现的精度和空间规模访问数据。学术价值：拟议讲习班的结构和鼓励科学家与公众之间进行富有成效的互动的总体计划得到了很好的发展。社区合作伙伴，包括基层非营利组织Kua和Kamehameha School，正在支持研讨会的各个部分，表明公众对这一努力非常感兴趣。研讨会将聚焦于一个与当地社区高度相关的重要科学问题，由此产生的数据将通过以前所未有的规模增加NOAA验潮仪的空间变异性，潜在地改变监测和预测沿海水文、洪水和公害洪水的能力。更广泛的影响：这次研讨会的更广泛的影响尤其强烈。研讨会将支持公众参与科学研究，并将增进公众对关键环境问题的了解。最终的结果将是一个？有指导的公民科学家？产生可靠的众包沿海观测站数据的方法。

With funding from a previous OCE award (1538697), Dr. Glazer recently developed low-cost sea level and water monitoring sensors and has successfully deployed these sensors in a local fishpond, Paepae o He`eia, on the island of Oahu. These sensors are an important innovation that will supplement or replace data from monitoring devices that previously cost tens of thousands of dollars per unit. The objective of this workshop is to make the new instruments widely available to the public in Hawaii for understanding spatial and temporal variability of coastal water level and tidal processes that threaten communities through nuisance flooding and sea level rise. The two-day workshop will train Hawaiian community members to assemble, install and use the new sensors at fishponds located throughout the Hawaiian Islands. The PI will order all sensor parts, pre-assemble difficult/critical components, 3D print custom housing chassis components, and assemble DIY kits with fabrication documentation to distribute to about forty workshop participants during the hands-on sensor assembly and training sessions. The DIY sensor kits will allow Hawaiian communities to monitor and quantify in near-real-time coastal tides, inundation, and beach run-up risks. After the workshop, the PI will continue to engage participants, coordinate data feeds, maintain data archives, and provide web visualization tools using crowd-sourced data from the newly assembled and deployed sensor kits. Workshop co-organizing partner Kua'Aina Ulu 'Auamo (KUA) will facilitate post-workshop assessments and surveys. Ultimately, the data produced by these sensors will allow scientists to access data with an accuracy and spatial scale that was not previously possible. Intellectual Merit: The structure of the proposed workshops and the general plan for encouraging productive interactions between scientists and members of the public is well developed. Community partners, including the grassroots non-profit organization KUA and the Kamehameha Schools, are supporting various portions of the workshop, demonstrating significant interest by the public in this effort. The workshop will focus on an important scientific question that is highly relevant to the local communities, and the resulting data will potentially transform the capability for monitoring and predicting coastal hydrology, inundation, and nuisance flooding by augmenting NOAA tide gauge spatial variability at unprecedented scales . Broader Impacts: The broader impacts of this workshop are especially strong. The workshop will support public participation in scientific research and will increase public understanding of critical environmental issues. The end result will be a ?mentored citizen scientist? approach that leads to reliable crowd-sourced coastal observatory data.
