Developed coastal environments are shaped by interactions between human activities and natural processes. These interactions cascade such that mitigation and recovery strategies that promote adaptation at the time scale of hazardous events (months to years) can be maladaptive on longer timescales (decades). The Collaboratory for Coastal Adaptation over Space and Time Research Coordination Network (C-CoAST-RCN) will build the new collaborative capacity necessary to address two Grand Challenge Questions (GCQs): 1) How do event/recovery-driven dynamics of human and natural systems alter risks and the resilience of communities, ecosystems, and landscapes?, and 2) What levers—actions of individuals, communities, governments, and other groups–enable mutual resilience of communities, ecosystems, and landscapes? By building the capacity for a comprehensive scientific understanding of the human-natural coastal system, C-CoAST will enable the potential for steering the coastal system away from future states that communities want to avoid, and toward outcomes they deem more desirable. C-CoAST RCN findings, and the research it facilitates, will contribute to recently invigorated state-level resilience planning. C-CoAST’s integration of stakeholders—from counties representing variations in vulnerability and socioeconomic, political, and cultural characteristics—in network activities culminating in co-production of a research agenda and development of collaborative teams will broaden participation in coastal research and contribute to improved public perceptions of science. Addressing the C-CoAST RCN GCQs requires a radically transdisciplinary understanding of the coupled human-natural coastal system. C-Coast will fuse diverse perspectives and develop new long-term collaborations that span previously uncrossed boundaries. C-CoAST activities will integrate scholars from many disciplines—biogeochemistry, demography, design, ecology, economics, education, engineering, geomorphology, hydrology, land-use planning, law, non-linear dynamics, political science, sociology, as well as the arts and humanities—who address human dynamics, natural dynamics, and their interactions within coastal systems. C-CoAST will build and cultivate capacity by integrating researcher, practitioner, and stakeholder expertise across coastal interests through a suite of facilitated activities: a) Discipline 101 Seminars in which participants share their specialized “languages,” perspectives, and methods; b) small-group Listening Sessions in which researchers, practitioners, and stakeholders develop a shared understanding of barriers to managing coastal systems in a way that considers how short-term couplings unfold over longer time scales; c) interactive, public Gallery Walks that synthesize Listening Session findings and elicit feedback; and d) a Research Agenda Workshop to co-produce and prioritize specific CoPe-science research questions and develop teams to address them.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.

发达的沿海环境是由人类活动和自然过程之间的相互作用形成的。这些相互作用级联，使得在危险事件的时间尺度（数月至数年）促进适应的缓解和恢复战略在较长的时间尺度（数十年）上可能不适应。沿海适应时空研究协调网络合作实验室（C-CoAST-RCN）将建立解决两个重大挑战问题（GCQ）所需的新的合作能力：1）人类和自然系统的事件/恢复驱动的动态如何改变风险和社区，生态系统和景观的恢复力？2）个人、社区、政府和其他团体的行动是什么杠杆，使社区、生态系统和景观能够相互恢复？ 通过建立对人类-自然海岸系统的全面科学理解的能力，C-CoAST将使海岸系统能够远离社区希望避免的未来状态，并朝着他们认为更理想的结果发展。C-CoAST RCN的调查结果及其促进的研究将有助于最近制定的州一级复原力规划。C-CoAST的集成的知识产权持有人-从县代表的脆弱性和社会经济，政治和文化特征的变化-在网络活动中最终共同生产的研究议程和合作团队的发展将扩大参与沿海研究，并有助于提高公众对科学的看法。 解决C-CoAST RCN GCQ需要对耦合的人类-自然海岸系统进行彻底的跨学科理解。C-Coast将融合不同的观点，并开发跨越以前未跨越的边界的新的长期合作。C-CoAST活动将整合来自许多学科的学者-地球化学，人口学，设计，生态学，经济学，教育，工程学，地貌学，水文学，土地使用规划，法律，非线性动力学，政治学，社会学以及艺术和人文学-他们解决人类动力学，自然动力学及其在沿海系统中的相互作用。C-CoAST将通过一系列促进活动，整合研究人员，从业人员和沿海利益相关者的专业知识，建立和培养能力：a）学科101研讨会，参与者分享他们的专业“语言”，观点和方法; B）小组聆听会议，其中研究人员，从业人员，和利益攸关方对管理沿海系统的障碍形成共同的理解，考虑短期耦合如何在较长的时间尺度上展开; c）互动的公共画廊步行，综合倾听会议的结果并征求反馈;和d）研究议程研讨会，共同制作和优先考虑具体的科普-该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并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，被认为值得支持。
