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.

美国东海岸的沿着社区，主要是北卡罗来纳州到缅因州，正处于快速过渡时期。首先，像美国沿海的其他大部分地区一样，他们正在经历更明显的沿海灾害，包括海平面上升，暴雨事件增加，以及海洋沃茨汹涌，导致洪水泛滥。这些因素因气候变化而变得更加复杂。此外，随着美国转向清洁能源，风力涡轮机开始被放置在其海岸外的海洋中。 这两种动态可能导致社区与其海岸之间的新关系。 本次研讨会将探讨沿海社区，沿海进程和海洋电力基础设施之间的人类关系的性质不断变化的影响。研讨会将面向未来的研究和机会，以适应，提前准备，并吸收和风暴事件后反弹。该研讨会将于2020年春季在马里兰州的安纳波利斯举行，汇集了科学家，规划师，公民团体和商业利益。美国东海岸的转型具有两个动态特征：沿海灾害，包括海平面上升、风暴潮和降水量增加导致洪水和淹没，这些灾害往往对最脆弱的沿海人口产生更严重的影响，以及海洋可再生能源基础设施的选址和安装。该研讨会旨在更好地了解这些相互关联的动态，重点是复原力建设工作和考虑开发海上风能系统。研讨会将借鉴学术界（例如，这次研讨会的参与者包括社会和物理科学家、灾害管理专家和海洋赠款项目的专业人员）;政府（联邦、部落、州和地方规划者）;适应工作者;沿海民间社会;以及工业/私营部门（商会、商业渔民、海上风力开发商），重点关注小型沿海社区不断变化的人与海岸/海洋的关系。讲习班将努力增进对以下问题的理解：（a）物理过程造成的大规模沿海变化与近海可再生能源造成的海洋工业化之间的联系;（B）如何最好地让决策者共同看待这两种变化力量，以找到共同战略，克服体制障碍，并寻找具有共同效益的创新伙伴关系机会，以及（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性。 该研讨会将产生一个跨学科的研究路线图，解决新兴的沿海社区转型，并确定最佳实践和风险沟通战略，以提高适应能力和弹性。该奖项反映了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。
