The Gordon Research Conferences has a long history of providing an international forum for thepresentation and discussion of frontier research in a variety of science and engineering fields, including in coastal ocean dynamics. This project provides partial support for the GordonResearch Conference (GRC) and Gordon Research Seminar (GRS) on Coastal Ocean Dynamics, to be held at the Bryant University on June 17-23, 2023. The financial support from NSF will be used to support the attendance of students, postdocs, early career researchers, invited speakers and discussion leaders, and to expand the demographic, professional and geographic diversity of participants. Coastal oceans play a major role in the Earth’s system for reasons such as transforming nutrient-rich and often polluted freshwater discharge from land and dissipating large amounts of tidal energy. Understanding the processes in the coastal ocean offers great promise for linking scientific research to societal needs and to anthropogenic impact in the global ocean. Studying the interconnectedness of the physical, geological, chemical, and biological aspects of the coastal oceans is fundamental to developing sound practices for the protection of the marine ecosystem and public health. The 2023 GRC and GRS on Coastal Ocean Dynamics strives to provide a platform to foster communication on interdisciplinary thinking and nurture rapport between senior researchers and students/junior researchers. It is organized with a special emphasis on diversity and equity in gender balance, URM community representation and international participation to provide a better range of perspectives on the scientific topics. Besides the regular conference communication, there will be a structured “Power Hour” event focused specifically on different aspects diversity and equity. The 2023 GRC and GRS on Coastal Ocean Dynamics will continue a long-standing record of informing and inspiring researchers that will ultimately comprise the technically skilled and creative research workforce required to meet future challenges in applied coastal ocean dynamics research.The theme of the 2023 GRC on Coastal Ocean Dynamics is coastal ocean physics and its connections to marine ecosystems, and the associated GRS, a 2-day seminar before the GRC, targets professional development of students and early career scientists. The elected co-Chairs of the 2023 GRC Coastal Ocean Dynamics are Kristen Davis and Weifeng (Gordon) Zhang; the elected co-Vice Chairs are Melanie Fewings and Hans Burchard. The co-Chairs and co-Vice Chairs together form the chairing committee. The elected chair of the 2023 GRS Coastal Ocean Dynamics is Elizabeth Brasseale. They have worked together to form the scientific program of the 2023 GRC and convened a Program Committee comprised of a broad spectrum of professional experiences. The field of coastal physical oceanography has greatly advanced on a variety of fronts in recent years. Progress in observational methods, modeling techniques and model-observation integration have helped to improve our understanding of fundamental processes and interactions among different aspects of the coastal systems, and coastal ocean prediction. The 2023 GRC Coastal Ocean Dynamics and the associated GRS have been designed to bring the community together to discuss a variety of topics, including nearshore and estuarine dynamics, shelf-ocean exchange, coastal ocean prediction and sea level change, high-latitude shelf dynamics, and climate impacts. The goal of the conference is to synthesize these recent advances, cultivate novel ideas, push the field of coastal oceanography forward.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.

戈登研究会议有着悠久的历史，为各种科学和工程领域的前沿研究提供了一个国际论坛，包括沿海海洋动力学。该项目为将于2023年6月17日至23日在布莱恩特大学举行的戈登研究会议（GRC）和戈登沿海海洋动力学研究研讨会（GRS）提供部分支持。来自NSF的财政支持将用于支持学生、博士后、早期职业研究人员、受邀演讲者和讨论领袖的出席，并扩大参与者的人口、专业和地理多样性。沿海海洋在地球系统中发挥着重要作用，其原因包括转化陆地排出的营养丰富但往往受到污染的淡水，以及耗散大量潮汐能。了解沿海海洋的过程为将科学研究与社会需求和全球海洋中的人为影响联系起来提供了巨大的希望。研究沿海海洋的物理、地质、化学和生物方面的相互联系，对于制定保护海洋生态系统和公众健康的良好做法至关重要。2023沿海海洋动力学GRC和GRS致力于提供一个平台，促进跨学科思维的交流，培养高级研究人员与学生/初级研究人员之间的融洽关系。它的组织特别强调性别平衡的多样性和公平、URM的社区代表性和国际参与，以便就科学主题提供更广泛的观点。除了定期的会议交流外，还将有一个结构化的“Power Hour”活动，专门针对不同方面的多样性和公平性。2023年沿海海洋动力学GRC和GRS将继续为研究人员提供信息和启发，最终组成技术熟练和创造性的研究队伍，以应对未来应用沿海海洋动力学研究中的挑战。2023沿海海洋动力学GRC的主题是沿海海洋物理学及其与海洋生态系统的联系，而相关的GRS是GRC之前为期两天的研讨会，针对学生和早期职业科学家的专业发展。当选的2023年GRC海岸海洋动力学联合主席是Kristen Davis和Weifeng (Gordon) Zhang；当选的联合副主席是Melanie Fewings和Hans Burchard。联合主席和联合副主席共同组成主席委员会。2023年GRS沿海海洋动力学的当选主席是Elizabeth Brasseale。他们共同制定了2023年GRC的科学计划，并召集了一个由广泛的专业经验组成的计划委员会。近年来，海岸物理海洋学领域在各个方面都取得了很大的进展。观测方法、模拟技术和模式-观测一体化的进步有助于提高我们对海岸系统不同方面的基本过程和相互作用以及海岸海洋预测的理解。2023年GRC沿海海洋动力学和相关的GRS旨在将社区聚集在一起讨论各种主题，包括近岸和河口动力学，大陆架-海洋交换，沿海海洋预测和海平面变化，高纬度大陆架动力学和气候影响。会议的目标是综合这些最新进展，培养新的思想，推动沿海海洋学领域向前发展。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并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，被认为值得支持。
