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需要协调一致的努力来保护生态系统，同时支持繁荣，生计和社区福祉。 飓风对不同人群的影响不同。飓风的影响会加剧社会和经济不平等，并使弱势群体的恢复能力恶化。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，有可能促进所有人口的福祉。这次会议，这是国家范围内，将提供一个场所，分享新的知识，从广泛的学科和跨学科的方法，飓风，其影响，以及衡量抗灾能力和恢复的模式。今后要提高这些具有重要经济和生态意义的沿海系统的复原力，就需要在不同的利益攸关方群体之间有效分享知识，这对有效的决策和政策制定有影响。会议成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。本次会议还将支持本科生和研究生在STEM相关领域的参与。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的研究成果，涉及广泛的飓风相关主题，如洪水，水质和健康，飓风破坏和损失，以及灾难恢复。 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袖在内的各种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的目标是通过讨论研究结果，如何在研究结果的基础上开发和实施解决方案，并推进有影响力的未来研究，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NSF通过其RAPID计划资助的最新飓风相关研究的知识和工具; 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，通过在不同的利益相关者和潜在用户之间进行有效的沟通和传播策略，提高研究成果的实用性。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。

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.
