CoPe Conference: Identification and Prioritization of Recurrent Flooding Research Foci Workshop: A Synergistic Approach: Norfolk, VA - June 2020

经常性洪水，即与降水事件、涨潮和风暴潮有关的洪水反复发生，在沿海地区正在增加。 虽然它被描述为暂时的滋扰，但它可能会对居民和企业造成累积的当地经济损失。 该项目将举办一个讲习班，确定与沿海地区经常性洪水的影响和应对措施有关的研究问题。 研讨会旨在扩大各部门的参与，包括社区利益攸关方，研究人员，决策者和从业人员，并将允许新的和多样化的观点和共同生产的知识，可以提高对现有适应行为，潜在的适应性应对战略的认识，以及弱势群体和社区面临的现实世界的限制。 据估计，到2020年，47%的美国人口将生活在沿着地区，本次研讨会将提供促进包容性的、合作性的适应机会的主要社会效益，这是促进国家健康、繁荣和福利所必需的。 研讨会的重点是经常性的洪水，连接自然系统和人口为基础的系统，在汉普顿道路城市环境。研讨会的方法是专门设计的，以开发五个主题领域内的研究问题，管理沿海洪水，保护弱势群体，保护和维持经济活力，促进和加强公共卫生，提高适应能力，并在长期动态的背景下，促进人类和经济活动的迁移远离风险。 为期两天的研讨会包括全体会议和专题信息会议，五个专题研讨会和一个圆桌会议，然后是一个研究人员工作会议，综合研究课题，这将导致一个规定性的-一份基于白色的论文，确定了沿海环境和沿海人口密集地区自然灾害的高优先级研究课题。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并被认为值得支持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。

Recurrent flooding, which is flooding that occurs repeatedly related to precipitation events, high tides and storm surge, is increasing in coastal areas. Although characterized as a temporary nuisance it may result in cumulative local economic losses to both residents and businesses. This project will conduct a workshop which will identify research questions related to the impact of and responses to recurrent flooding in a coastal region. The workshop is designed to broaden participation across sectors, to include community stakeholders, researchers, decision makers, and practitioners, and will allow for new and diverse perspectives and co-production of knowledge that can advance awareness of existing adaptation behaviors, potential adaptive response strategies, and real-world constraints faced by vulnerable populations and communities. By 2020 it is estimated that 47 percent of the United States population will be living along coastlines, this workshop will provide the main societal benefit of advancing inclusive, collaborative adaptation opportunities which are needed to advance the national health, prosperity and welfare. The workshop focus is recurrent flooding, linking natural systems and population-based systems, in the Hampton Roads urban environment. The workshop approach is designed specifically to develop research questions within five themed-topic areas of manage coastal flooding, safeguard vulnerable populations, protect and sustain economic vitality, promote and enhance public health, and increase adaptive capacity, and frame these within the context of longer-term dynamics that facilitate the migration of human and economic activities away from risk. The 2-day workshop includes plenary and thematic information sessions, five thematic charrette sessions and a roundtable session, followed by a researcher work session for synthesis of research topics, which will result in a prescriptive-based white paper that identifies high priority research topics for coastal environments and natural hazards in populated coastal regions.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.
