The objective of this Growing Convergence Research project is to explore how social, ecological, and technological systems (SETS) interact to generate vulnerability or resilience to extreme weather events and how urban SETS dynamics might be guided along more resilient and sustainable trajectories. This project is motivated by the challenge of minimizing the impacts of extreme events, such as hurricanes and the accompanying storm surges, extreme heat, and flash flooding brought on by heavy rain events, on cities. The research team will develop convergence a) by bridging across the social, ecological, and technological domains; b) integrating socio-ecological-systems (SES), socio-technological systems (STS), and engineering theories of resilience into a common definition of resilience in which adaptive capacity is central; and c) working together with practitioners and community members to collaboratively envision resilient urban futures and articulating needs for implementing system-oriented solutions. Utilizing Atlanta, New York, Phoenix, and San Juan as study cities, this project will: a) apply and integrate simulations of power, water, transportation, and building systems to assess vulnerabilities to extreme events for future infrastructure scenarios in each city; b) model projections of heat and flood exposure combined with land use/land cover (LULC) change scenarios to assess future extreme event risk for future infrastructure scenarios in each city; c) analyze governance networks that address resiliency and associated actor agency, including visions, mental models of system vulnerabilities, institutional structures, and decision-making processes that are essential to navigate transformational changes in future scenarios; d) employ participatory visioning to co-develop future scenarios of resilient SETS infrastructures and explore with practitioners responses to future extreme event scenarios and social-ecological-technological changes; e) develop a researcher-practitioner transdisciplinary process to explore how resilience solutions might be implemented in diverse urban systems; and f) synthesize outcomes of future simulations and scenarios in an online interactive researcher-practitioner visualization platform as a potential decision-support tool.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

这个不断增长的融合研究项目的目标是探索社会，生态和技术系统（SETS）如何相互作用，以产生极端天气事件的脆弱性或恢复力，以及如何引导城市SETS动态沿着更具弹性和可持续性的轨迹。该项目的动机是最大限度地减少极端事件对城市的影响，如飓风和伴随的风暴潮，极端高温和暴雨事件带来的山洪暴发。研究团队将通过以下方式发展融合：a）在社会、生态和技术领域之间架起桥梁; B）将社会生态系统（SES）、社会技术系统（STS）和弹性工程理论整合到弹性的共同定义中，其中适应能力是核心; c）与实践者和社区成员合作，共同设想具有复原力的城市未来，并阐明实施系统的需求，导向的解决方案。以亚特兰大、纽约、凤凰城和圣胡安为研究城市，该项目将：a）应用和整合电力、水、交通和建筑系统的模拟，以评估每个城市未来基础设施对极端事件的脆弱性; B）结合土地利用/土地覆盖（LULC）的热量和洪水暴露模型预测改变场景，以评估每个城市未来基础设施场景的未来极端事件风险; c）分析治理网络，解决弹性和相关的行动者机构，包括愿景，系统脆弱性的心理模型，制度结构，d）采用参与式愿景，共同开发具有弹性的SETS基础设施的未来情景，并与从业人员一起探索对未来极端事件情景和社会-生态-技术变化的反应;（e）建立一个跨学科的研究者-实践者进程，以探讨如何在不同的城市系统中实施复原力解决方案;以及f）在在线交互式研究者-实践者可视化平台中综合未来模拟和情景的结果作为潜在决策-该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并被认为是值得通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估的支持。
