CoPe Conference on Community Resiliency In The Face of Coastal Hazards and The Renewable Energy Transition; May, 2020, Annapolis, MD

美国东海岸的社区，主要是北卡罗来纳州到缅因州，正处于快速过渡时期。首先，像美国沿海的许多其他地区一样，它们正在经历更明显的沿海灾害，包括海平面上升、暴风雨事件增加和汹涌的海水导致洪水。气候变化使这些因素变得更加复杂。此外，随着美国转向清洁能源，风力涡轮机开始被放置在远离海岸的海洋中。这两个动态可能导致社区与其沿海地区之间的新关系。该讲习班将探讨沿海社区、沿海进程和海洋电力基础设施之间人类关系性质的变化所产生的影响。研讨会将面向未来的研究和机会，以适应、推进准备工作，并在风暴事件后吸收和恢复。研讨会将于2020年春季在马里兰州安纳波利斯举行，聚集了科学家、规划者、公民团体和商业利益集团。美国东海岸的转型具有两个特点：沿海灾害，包括海平面上升、风暴潮和降水增加，导致洪水和洪水，这通常会对最脆弱的沿海人口产生更严重的影响；以及在海洋中选址和安装可再生能源基础设施。讲习班力求更好地了解这些相互关联的动态，重点放在复原力建设努力和对发展海上风能系统的考虑上。讲习班将吸收学术界(例如，社会和物理学家、灾害管理专家和海洋赠款参与专业人员)、政府(联邦、部落、州和地方规划者)、适应实践者、沿海民间社会和工业/私营部门(商会、商业渔民、近海风能开发商)的参与，并侧重于沿海小社区人类与海岸/海洋关系的变化。讲习班将致力于提高对以下问题的认识：(A)自然过程造成的大规模沿海变化与近海可再生能源的海洋工业化之间的联系；(B)如何让决策者最好地共同看待这两股变革力量，以找到共同战略、克服体制障碍和建立互惠互利的创新伙伴关系机会；(C)有效的风险沟通战略，阐明与沿海社区快速过渡和复原力建设有关的权衡和不确定因素。研讨会将产生一个跨学科的研究路线图，以应对新兴的沿海社区转型，并确定最佳做法和风险沟通战略，以增强适应能力和弹性。这一奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

Communities along the east coast of the United States, primarily North Carolina to Maine, are in a time of rapid transition. First, like much of the rest of coastal United States, they are experiencing more pronounced coastal hazards, including sea level rise, increased storm rain events, and surging oceanic waters, resulting in flooding. These factors are complicated by climate change. In addition, as the US moves toward clean energy, wind turbines are beginning to be placed in the ocean off their coasts. These two dynamics could result in new relationships between communities and their coasts. This workshop will explore the implications of the changing nature of the human relationship between coastal communities, coastal processes, and electricity infrastructure in the ocean. The workshop will be oriented toward future research and opportunities to adapt, advance preparedness, and absorb and bounce back after storm events. The workshop will be held in Annapolis, Maryland in Spring 2020, and bring together scientists, planners, citizen groups, and business interests.The transition of the US east coast is characterized by two dynamics: coastal hazards, including rising seas, storm surge and increased precipitation events leading to flooding and inundation, which often have more serious impacts in the most vulnerable coastal populations, and siting and installation of renewable energy infrastructure in the ocean. The workshop seeks a better understanding of these interrelated dynamics with a focus on resilience building efforts and consideration of the development of an offshore wind energy system. The workshop will draw on academia (e.g., social and physical scientists, disaster management specialists and Sea Grant engagement professionals); government (federal, tribal, and state and local planners); adaptation practitioners; coastal civil society; and industry/private sector (chamber of commerce, commercial fishers, offshore wind developers) and focus on the changing human relationship with the coast/sea in small coastal communities. The workshop will work to improve understanding of (a) the links between large-scale coastal changes from physical processes and industrialization of the ocean from offshore renewable energy, (b) how best to engage policymakers in viewing these two forces of change together to find common strategies, overcome institutional barriers, and innovative partnering opportunities with co-benefits, and (c) effective risk communication strategies that articulate tradeoffs and uncertainties related to rapid transitions and resilience building in coastal communities. The workshop will generate an interdisciplinary research roadmap that address emerging coastal community transitions and identifies best practices and risk communication strategies to enhance adaptive capacity and resilience.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.
