The Change Hawaii: Harnessing the Data Revolution for Island Resilience [Change(HI)] project aims to develop the appropriate tools and workforce in Hawaii to study and understand the existential threat of climate change on the state. The diverse and complex climate and geography of Hawaii presents unique challenges to measure and gather reliable data to properly monitor weather-related events. These events have been enhanced in frequency and intensity due to the accelerated change in climate. While data at a larger scale is currently available, there is lack of sufficient downscaled products in Hawaii to facilitate modeling of climate impacts, alternative energy planning, and improvement of present-day weather forecasts. Climate science depends on data science, analytics, and visualization to close data gaps, and to develop actionable science and models which in turn will support Hawaii’s transition to a data-driven, “smart” economy. Change(HI) is committed to producing actionable science resulting from data/climate interdisciplinary research. At the same time, the project seeks to train a workforce in computational and climate science that would help diversify and regenerate the Hawaiian economy, which is dependent on tourism. Change(HI) will consolidate participants from four Hawaii's higher education institutions: University of Hawaii Manoa, University of Hawaii Hilo, University of Hawaii West Oahu, and Chaminade University. The project will establish multi-campus and multidisciplinary teams in areas such as data science, climate science, cyberinfrastructure, education, and workforce development. Change(HI) will position Hawaii to “harness the data revolution” to confront climate change and support the state’s economic diversification. Hawaii is currently considered underserved in climate analysis products because national analyses and monitoring networks are often restricted, resulting in data gaps and information scarcity for decision making in Hawaii. In addition, the diverse topography of the islands as well as the dynamic climate make it difficult to obtain the high-resolution data needed to obtain reliable outcomes from different predicting models. The Change Hawaii: Harnessing the Data Revolution for Island Resilience [Change(HI)] project proposes to obtain the necessary data by using current and new sensors and generating the proper downscaling climate products. The data will be easily accessible for the various stakeholders through a data portal that is currently operational and will be upgraded to handle the new climate information. Change(HI) will focus on identifying critical gaps that are not duplicative of ongoing and highly funded efforts in areas such as seawater inundation, coastal ecology, coral resilience, and storms. The research plan is divided into four focused themes: 1) monitoring, visualizing and communicating change; 2) predicting and simulating regional climate change; 3) ecohydrology of change; 4) characterizing land-use change tradeoffs. Change(HI) will deliver fundamental and actionable advances in the science of climate change for Hawaii, including data products, collection strategies, and analysis tools that will be applicable to other Pacific islands. The project includes recruitment and inclusion strategies that will increase participation of groups under-represented in STEM and computational disciplines such as data science, promote indigenous participation, and promote community co-production and agency in data science.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.

变化夏威夷：利用数据革命促进岛屿复原力[变化（HI）]项目旨在为夏威夷开发适当的工具和劳动力，以研究和了解气候变化对该州的生存威胁。 夏威夷多样而复杂的气候和地理环境对测量和收集可靠数据以正确监测与天气有关的事件提出了独特的挑战。 由于气候变化加速，这些事件的频率和强度都有所增强。虽然目前可以获得更大规模的数据，但夏威夷缺乏足够的缩小规模的产品，以促进气候影响建模、替代能源规划和改进当今天气预报。 气候科学依赖于数据科学、分析和可视化来缩小数据差距，并开发可操作的科学和模型，这反过来将支持夏威夷向数据驱动的“智能”经济过渡。变化（HI）致力于从数据/气候跨学科研究中产生可操作的科学。 与此同时，该项目旨在培训计算和气候科学方面的劳动力，这将有助于夏威夷经济的多样化和再生，而夏威夷经济依赖于旅游业。 变革（HI）将巩固来自四所夏威夷高等教育机构的参与者：夏威夷马诺阿大学、夏威夷希洛大学、夏威夷西奥陶纪大学和查米纳德大学。 该项目将在数据科学、气候科学、网络基础设施、教育和劳动力发展等领域建立多校区和多学科团队。 变化（HI）将定位夏威夷“利用数据革命”，以应对气候变化和支持国家的经济多样化。夏威夷目前被认为在气候分析产品方面服务不足，因为国家分析和监测网络往往受到限制，导致夏威夷决策所需的数据缺口和信息稀缺。此外，岛屿地形多样，气候多变，因此难以获得从不同预测模型获得可靠结果所需的高分辨率数据。变化夏威夷：利用数据革命促进岛屿复原力[变化（HI）]项目建议通过使用当前和新的传感器获得必要的数据，并生成适当的降尺度气候产品。各利害关系方将通过一个数据门户网站方便地获取这些数据，该数据门户网站目前正在运行，并将升级以处理新的气候信息。变化（HI）将侧重于确定关键差距，这些差距与海水泛滥、沿海生态、珊瑚恢复力和风暴等领域正在进行的和资金充足的努力不重复。该研究计划分为四个重点主题：1）监测，可视化和交流变化; 2）预测和模拟区域气候变化; 3）变化的生态水文学; 4）表征土地利用变化权衡。变化（HI）将为夏威夷的气候变化科学带来根本性和可操作的进步，包括适用于其他太平洋岛屿的数据产品、收集策略和分析工具。该项目包括招募和包容战略，将增加在STEM和数据科学等计算学科中代表性不足的群体的参与，促进土著参与，并促进社区共同制作和数据科学代理。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并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，被认为值得支持。
