This project brings together professionals in science, public policy, law, and journalism in an interdisciplinary symposium on sea level rise (SLR) aimed at addressing opportunities and challenges to effective U.S. coastal resilience policy and practices.The Environmental Law Institute will engage scholars and student researchers from law schools and academic departments to: 1) develop white papers on key legal topics related to sea level rise; and 2) deliver their findings at an interdisciplinary symposium in Florida. The research will underscore themes raised at previous workshops such as the inevitability of significant sea level rise, the increasing urgency of developing comprehensive responses to it, and the necessity of adapting the legal system to address immediate and accelerating societal impacts. The potential Broader Impacts include promoting the ability of scientists, policymakers, and the general public to understand and make decisions based on the emerging science of sea level rise and coastal adaptation and resilience. The conference and its attendant activities will contribute to increasing cross-disciplinary understanding of the issues by the participants and the communities with whom they interact and enable them to communicate more effectively as necessary.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.

该项目汇集了科学，公共政策，法律和新闻专业人士在海平面上升（SLR）的跨学科研讨会，旨在解决机会和挑战，以有效的美国沿海弹性政策和做法。环境法研究所将聘请学者和学生研究人员从法学院和学术部门：1）制定白色论文的关键法律的主题有关海平面上升; 2）在佛罗里达的跨学科研讨会上发表他们的发现。研究将强调在以前的讲习班上提出的主题，如海平面大幅上升的不可避免性，制定全面应对措施的日益紧迫性，以及调整法律的制度以应对直接和加速的社会影响的必要性。潜在的更广泛影响包括提高科学家、政策制定者和公众的能力，使他们能够理解海平面上升和沿海适应性和复原力的新兴科学，并根据这些科学做出决策。会议及其伴随的活动将有助于增加参与者和与他们互动的社区对问题的跨学科理解，并使他们能够在必要时更有效地沟通。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并被认为值得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来支持。
