The changing Arctic environment brings both risk and opportunity to coastal New England. Arctic ice melt connects northern ports through new economic activities such as shipping, trade, resource extraction, fishing, and tourism, even as it accelerates sea level rise, severe weather, and other ecological changes. More resilient locales can expect increased migration from more vulnerable areas. While many communities are developing local coastal adaptation plans focused on specific problems such as infrastructure planning, natural resource management, and emergency response, fewer are comprehensively linking economic, demographic, and ecological forces. A workshop in Portland, Maine will consider the resilient urban planning and landscape design needed for smaller cities and towns of northern New England to grow into the future vibrant, sustainable, and adaptable coastal cities of 2100. Stronger partnerships among scientific, business, governmental, non-profit, and neighborhood groups will advance the exploration of visionary futures and expand the scope of research and educational initiatives that inform coastal climate adaptation.A central workshop goal is to determine what types of data and knowledge will help communities align incremental adjustments with more integrated visioning of uncertain futures involving urbanization, in-migration, and transformative paradigms in science and engineering. Workshop discussions will highlight the built environment and implications of more diversified economic and demographic futures for socio-ecological resilience, thereby embracing uncertainty and anticipating transformative change. A primary outcome will be a collection of student internship projects engaging communities and private industry in coastlines and people science through student learning as a boundary spanning activity. Workshop outcomes will benefit society by developing an understanding of how coastal resilience to environmental variability and hazards might synergize with urbanization and economic growth.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.

不断变化的北极环境给沿海的新英格兰带来了风险和机遇。北极冰层融化通过航运、贸易、资源开采、渔业和旅游等新的经济活动将北方港口连接起来，即使它加速了海平面上升、恶劣天气和其他生态变化。更具复原力的地区预计会有更多的移民来自更脆弱的地区。虽然许多社区正在制定地方沿海适应计划，重点是基础设施规划，自然资源管理和应急反应等具体问题，但很少有社区将经济，人口和生态力量全面联系起来。缅因州波特兰的一个研讨会将考虑北方新英格兰的小城镇发展成为2100年充满活力、可持续和适应性强的沿海城市所需的弹性城市规划和景观设计。科学、商业、政府、非营利组织和社区团体之间更强有力的伙伴关系将推动对有远见的未来的探索，并扩大为沿海气候适应提供信息的研究和教育计划的范围。以及科学和工程领域的变革性范例。讲习班的讨论将突出建筑环境以及更加多样化的经济和人口未来对社会生态复原力的影响，从而接受不确定性并预测变革。一个主要成果将是学生实习项目的集合，通过学生学习作为一种跨越边界的活动，吸引社区和私营企业参与海岸线和人文科学。研讨会的成果将有利于社会发展的沿海恢复能力如何与城市化和经济增长的协同作用的理解，以环境的变化和灾害。这个奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并已被认为是值得通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估的支持。
