Third International Workshop on Waves, Storm Surges, and Coastal Hazards, Incorporating the Seventeenth (17th) International Waves Workshop; Notre Dame, Indiana; October 1-6, 2023

波浪、风暴潮和海岸灾害国际讲习班是一系列关于海洋和沿海海浪、水位和洋流各个方面的国际讲习班的延续。相关的应用包括海上能源基础设施（海浪和洋流对海上石油/天然气结构和风力涡轮机的影响），导航（海浪和洋流在开放水域与船只相互作用，通过入口进入港口），沿海洪泛区淹没（由于飓风风暴潮，海啸和沿海河流洪水），海岸形态（影响航道深度的沉积物运输和河口/河流到海洋的交流），对沿海生态系统的影响，包括对水质、动植物的影响（如社区供水、工业污染、水温和盐度、藻华、鱼类幼虫交换、水中可用氧气）。随着世界人口的持续增长和向沿海地区的迁移，以及全球和区域海洋和大气气候的变化，了解潜在的物理现象并通过模型进行预测变得越来越重要。这些不断增加的沿海人口通过砍伐森林、土地开发、疏浚、筑堤和集约化水产养殖，极大地改变了沿海海洋和洪泛平原，从根本上改变了风浪、潮汐、风暴潮和对特定事件的水文反应。此外，人为引起的全球大气和海洋气候变化正在推动更强、更大的风暴，这些风暴的移动趋势更慢，并产生更强的降雨率和更大的总降雨量。研讨会的主题包括实地观察、实验室研究、改进物理过程描述的理论基础、从计算算法到代码架构的模型实现、数据同化、人工智能、过程交互（波/风暴潮、冰/风暴潮、冰/风暴潮、水文/潮汐/风暴潮）、验证/验证/不确定性量化，以及在短期和长期预测和统计危害分析中的业务应用。海浪领域的具体主题包括在复杂条件和环境下海浪预测的改进方法，海浪气候和海浪测量，用户需求，最佳实践和评估，以改进波浪产生的物理，极端海洋，复杂几何形状的波浪产生，近岸应用，以及独特的波浪，如异常波，孤子波和次重力波。风暴潮和沿海灾害领域的主题包括开发工具，通过预测与影响沿海地区社区的波浪、海流、风暴潮和其他过程相关的风暴和风暴影响，量化未来沿海和近海的风险和复原力。来自多个来源的沿海洪水预报特别令人感兴趣。风暴潮专题包括业务预报；全球和区域预测；风暴潮气候；数据收集和仪器仪表；数据同化到数值模型；波流相互作用;surge-ice互动;复合驱;浅水及近岸影响；风浪预报的风场：极值分析案例研究，过去和未来的气候趋势和变化。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。

The International Workshop on Waves, Storm Surges and Coastal Hazards is a continuing series of international workshops on all aspects of ocean and coastal ocean waves, water levels and currents. Interrelated applications span from offshore energy infrastructure (wave and current forces against offshore oil/gas structures and wind turbines), navigation (waves and currents interacting with ships in open water, through inlets and into harbors), coastal floodplain inundation (due to hurricane storm surge, tsunamis and coastal riverine flooding), coastal morphology (sediment transport impacting the depth of navigation channels and estuarine/river to ocean exchanges), to coastal ecosystems including impacts on water quality, fauna and flora (e.g. community water supplies, industrial pollution, water temperature and salinity, algal blooms, fish larval exchanges, available oxygen in the water). Understanding the underlying physics and enabling prediction through models is becoming increasingly important as world populations continue to grow and migrate to coastal areas and as global and regional ocean and atmospheric climatology change. These increasing coastal populations are drastically modifying the coastal ocean and floodplain through deforestation, land development, dredging, levee construction, and intensive aquaculture, fundamentally changing the wind wave, tide, storm surge and hydrologic response to a specific event. In addition, anthropogenic induced global atmospheric and oceanic climatology change is driving more powerful and larger storms that are trending to move more slowly and producing more intense rainfall rates and larger total rainfall volumes. The workshop’s topics include field observations, laboratory studies, theoretical foundations to improve physical process descriptions, model implementation from computational algorithms to code architecture, data assimilation, artificial intelligence, process interaction (wave/storm surge, ice/wave, ice/storm surge, hydrology/tide/surge), verification/validation/uncertainty quantification, and operational applications in short- and long-term forecasting and statistical hazard analysis. Specific topics in the wave arena include improved methods for wave prediction in complex conditions and environments, ocean wave climate and wave measurements, user requirements, best practices and evaluation to improve the physics of wave generation, extreme seas, wave generation in complex geometries, near-coast applications, and unique waves such as rogue waves, solitons, and infragravity waves. Topics for the surge and coastal hazards arena include developing tools for quantifying future coastal and offshore risks and resiliency by predicting storms and storm effects associated with waves, currents, surges and other processes that affect communities in coastal areas. Coastal inundation forecasting from multiple sources is of particular interest. Storm surge topics include operational forecasting; global and regional hindcasts; storm surge climatology; data collection and instrumentation; data assimilation into numerical models; wave-current interaction; surge-ice interaction; compound flooding; shallow water and nearshore effects; wind fields for wave hindcasting or forecasting: extremal analysis; case studies, past and future climate trends and variability.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.
