As custodian of 1,247km of coast in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, the National Trust's (NT) mission is to preserve and manage its coastlines following national Shoreline Management Plans and internal sustainable coastal management policies and practices. My Innovation Placement with the NT will enhance the impact of NERC science by combining outputs from two projects (NE/J005541/1 iCOASST and NE/P01495X/1 ADJUST1.5) by analysing geomorphic interactions driven by natural and human processes operating on and adjacent to NT shorelines, which may be at risk from sea-level rise and wider coastal change. The NT has a national picture of what coastlines are at risk from change, but requires a method to apply at local scales to analyse how geomorphic processes operate, and why and when adverse change could occur at more local scales. As approximately 25% of their coast is low-lying, detecting the effects of sea-level rise is a major concern. Consequently the NT would like to better inform their management policies as to what is at risk, why and when.I will achieve this through introducing Coastal and Estuarine System Mapping (CESM) to conceptualise connected estuary-coast-inner shelf sediment systems, including geomorphic consequences of natural and human processes. This will bring together scientific and stakeholder knowledge, creating a shared understanding of how coastal sites operate, leading to development of targeted coastal management policies. I will be supported by CESM developers at University College London and the University of Southampton.I will test outputs from iCOASST to the Suffolk coast (an iCOASST study site), taking account of the broad processes in the sediment cell, but directing results to the ~10% of coastline owned by the NT. I will liaise with stakeholders to enrich understanding of key coastal processes, and to stimulate action between parties with multiple interests on the coast. As the NT are specifically concerned about early onset effects of sea-level rise, I will analyse potential impacts using a range of sea-level rise scenarios, informed by CESM outputs. This will help indicate the drivers of environmental change, what land is at risk and when this may occur, over the NT's planning timeframe of up to 100 years.I will test CESM on a pilot site owned by the NT (Poole Harbour) by using existing literature from the top down, but also through participatory approaches, working with the NT and other stakeholders to understand processes from the bottom up. I will work with NT staff so they can appreciate CESM and have the potential to apply it at sites nationwide, thus encouraging continuing collaboration. The results, and the NT process of learning and understanding of the process will help inform and improve local management practices aligning to NT policies and campaigns (e.g. Shifting Shores). This could transform how the NT assesses geomorphic systems and manages change. It will help envisage long-term change, working with, rather than against the nature environment. Thus resources can be directed in an appropriate manner.My legacy will not just be knowledge transfer of the CESM process (e.g. case study examples, guidance manual), but also a review of management options which support policies and strategies. I will feedback my findings internally in an action group meeting, and to staff members. I will also disseminate my results through the NT intranet, and where appropriate, through the wider media.My placement will have a long-term benefit by identifying change and reviewing holistic management options, which in the long-term will benefit the wider membership and public, so helping towards conserving the coast for all stakeholders and civil society.

作为英格兰、威尔士和北方爱尔兰1，247公里海岸线的监护人，国家信托（NT）的使命是按照国家海岸线管理计划和内部可持续海岸管理政策和做法保护和管理其海岸线。我的创新安置与NT将通过结合两个项目（NE/J 005541/1 iCOASST和NE/P01495 X/1 ADJUST1.5）的产出来增强NERC科学的影响力，通过分析由自然和人类过程驱动的地貌相互作用和邻近NT海岸线，这可能会受到海平面上升和更广泛的海岸变化的风险。北部地区有一个全国性的图片，什么海岸线是在变化的风险，但需要一种方法，适用于在地方尺度上分析地貌过程如何运作，以及为什么和什么时候可能发生不利的变化，在更多的地方尺度。由于约25%的海岸是低洼的，检测海平面上升的影响是一个主要问题。因此，新台币想更好地告知他们的管理政策，什么是风险，为什么以及何时。我将通过引入海岸和河口系统制图（CESM）来实现这一目标，概念化连接河口海岸内陆架沉积物系统，包括自然和人类过程的地貌后果。这将汇集科学和利益攸关方的知识，对沿海地区的运作方式形成共识，从而制定有针对性的沿海管理政策。我将得到伦敦大学学院和南安普顿大学CESM开发人员的支持。我将测试从iCOASST到萨福克海岸（一个iCOASST研究站点）的输出，考虑到沉积物单元中的广泛过程，但将结果导向NT拥有的约10%的海岸线。我将与利益攸关方联络，以丰富对关键沿海进程的理解，并促进在沿海有多种利益的各方之间的行动。由于NT特别关注海平面上升的早期影响，我将使用一系列海平面上升情景分析潜在影响，并通过CESM输出提供信息。这将有助于表明环境变化的驱动因素，什么土地处于危险之中，什么时候可能发生，在新台币的规划时间表长达100 years.I将测试CESM的试点网站拥有的新台币（普尔港）通过使用现有的文献自上而下，但也通过参与式的方法，与新台币和其他利益相关者从下而上理解的过程。我将与NT的工作人员合作，使他们能够欣赏CESM，并有可能将其应用于全国各地的网站，从而鼓励继续合作。结果以及NT学习和理解该过程的过程将有助于告知和改进当地管理实践，以符合NT政策和活动（例如，Shifting Shores）。这可能会改变NT评估地貌系统和管理变化的方式。它将有助于设想长期的变化，与自然环境合作，而不是对抗自然环境。我的遗产将不仅是CESM进程的知识转让（例如案例研究实例、指导手册），而且还将审查支持政策和战略的管理备选方案。我将在行动小组会议上将我的调查结果反馈给内部和工作人员。我还将通过NT内联网和适当的媒体传播我的研究结果。我的职位将通过确定变化和审查整体管理方案产生长期效益，从长远来看，这将使更广泛的会员和公众受益，从而有助于为所有利益相关者和民间社会保护海岸。
