CoPe Conference: HuRaCon: Science at the Intersection of Hurricanes and the Populated Coast

尽管在保护沿海地区的人民和财产方面取得了进展，但人口压力和气候变化要求我们在支持繁荣、生计和社区福祉的同时，共同努力保护生态系统。飓风对不同人群的影响是不同的。飓风的影响会加剧社会和经济的不平等，削弱弱势群体的恢复能力。地球物理、生态、工程和社会科学研究为旨在减轻飓风影响的政策提供信息，有可能促进所有人的福祉。这次会议是全国性的，将提供一个场所，分享从广泛的学科和跨学科方法中获得的新知识，这些方法涉及飓风、飓风的影响以及衡量韧性和恢复的模式。在未来，促进这些具有重要经济和生态意义的沿海系统的恢复能力，需要在不同的利益相关者群体之间有效地分享知识，这对有效的决策和政策制定具有重要意义。会议结果将广泛传播给研究人员、应急管理专业人员、政府官员和公众。会议还将支持将本科生和研究生纳入STEM相关领域。在为期两天的会议期间，研究人员将有机会与广大观众分享他们在洪水、水质和健康、飓风破坏和损失以及灾难恢复等广泛的飓风相关主题上的发现。包括地方、州和联邦政府官员、城市和应急管理人员以及社区领导人在内的不同利益攸关方团体将积极参加会议，从飓风应对和恢复的业务前沿交流他们的观点。HuRaCon的目标是通过对研究成果的讨论、基于研究结果制定和实施解决方案的方法，以及推进未来有影响力的研究，来促进高质量的科学。会议有三个主要目标：1)促进有效分享由美国国家科学基金会（NSF）通过其RAPID项目资助的最近飓风相关研究所得的知识和工具；2)展示不同的研究方法、观点、定量和定性测量，通过促进跨学科合作，有助于更丰富地了解飓风及其影响；3)强调以用户为中心，通过在不同利益相关者和潜在用户之间有效的沟通和传播策略来提高研究成果的效用。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，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。

Despite progress in protecting people and property in the coastal zone, population pressure and climate change require a concerted effort to protect ecological systems while supporting prosperity, livelihoods, and community well-being. Hurricanes impact diverse groups of people differentially. Hurricane impacts can exacerbate social and economic inequities and the ability of vulnerable populations to recover. Geophysical, ecological, engineering and social scientific research that informs policy intended to mitigate hurricane impacts has the potential to advance the welfare of all populations. This conference, which is national in scope, will provide a venue for sharing new knowledge from a broad range of disciplinary and interdisciplinary approaches to hurricanes, their impacts, and modes of measuring resilience and recovery. Promoting resilience of these economically and ecologically important coastal systems in the future will require effective sharing of knowledge across diverse stakeholder groups with implications for effective decision-making and policy development. Conference results will be widely disseminated to researchers, emergency management professionals, government officials, and the public. The conference will also support the inclusion of undergraduate and graduate students in STEM related fields.During this two-day conference, researchers will have the opportunity to share their findings with a broad audience on a wide range of hurricane related topics such as flooding, water quality and health, hurricane damage and losses, and disaster recovery. Diverse stakeholder groups, including local, state, and federal government officials, city and emergency managers, and community leaders, will be active participants in the conference communicating their perspective from the operational forefront of hurricane response and recovery. The goal of HuRaCon is to promote high quality science through the discussion of research findings, ways to move forward in developing and implementing solutions based on the findings, and advance impactful future research. The conference has three main objectives: 1) foster effective sharing of knowledge and tools derived from recent hurricane-related research funded by NSF through its RAPID program; 2) demonstrate the different research methods, perspectives, quantitative, and qualitative measurements that contribute to a far richer understanding of hurricanes and their impacts by promoting interdisciplinary collaboration; and 3) emphasize a user-based focus to increase the utility of research findings through effective communication and dissemination strategies across diverse stakeholders and potential users.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.
