CoPe Conference: Identification and Prioritization of Recurrent Flooding Research Foci Workshop: A Synergistic Approach: Norfolk, VA - June 2020

反复发生的洪水是与降水事件、涨潮和风暴潮有关的反复发生的洪水，在沿海地区正在增加。虽然被描述为临时滋扰，但它可能会给居民和企业造成累积的当地经济损失。该项目将举办一个讲习班，确定与沿海地区反复发生的洪灾的影响和应对措施有关的研究问题。研讨会旨在扩大跨部门的参与，包括社区利益攸关方、研究人员、决策者和实践者，并将允许以新的和不同的视角和共同创造知识，以提高对现有适应行为、潜在的适应应对战略以及弱势群体和社区面临的现实世界限制的认识。据估计，到2020年，47%的美国人口将生活在海岸线上，这一讲习班将提供促进包容性、协作性适应机会的主要社会益处，这些机会是促进国民健康、繁荣和福利所必需的。研讨会的重点是汉普顿路城市环境中反复发生的洪水，将自然系统和基于人口的系统联系起来。讲习班方法是专门为以下五个专题领域内的研究问题而设计的：管理沿海洪灾、保护弱势群体、保护和维持经济活力、促进和加强公共卫生以及提高适应能力，并将这些问题置于促进人类和经济活动远离风险的较长期动态的范围内。为期两天的研讨会包括全体会议和专题信息会议、五个主题专题会议和一个圆桌会议，随后是研究人员工作会议，以综合研究主题，这将产生一份基于规定的白皮书，确定沿海环境和人口稠密沿海地区自然灾害的高度优先研究主题。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

Recurrent flooding, which is flooding that occurs repeatedly related to precipitation events, high tides and storm surge, is increasing in coastal areas. Although characterized as a temporary nuisance it may result in cumulative local economic losses to both residents and businesses. This project will conduct a workshop which will identify research questions related to the impact of and responses to recurrent flooding in a coastal region. The workshop is designed to broaden participation across sectors, to include community stakeholders, researchers, decision makers, and practitioners, and will allow for new and diverse perspectives and co-production of knowledge that can advance awareness of existing adaptation behaviors, potential adaptive response strategies, and real-world constraints faced by vulnerable populations and communities. By 2020 it is estimated that 47 percent of the United States population will be living along coastlines, this workshop will provide the main societal benefit of advancing inclusive, collaborative adaptation opportunities which are needed to advance the national health, prosperity and welfare. The workshop focus is recurrent flooding, linking natural systems and population-based systems, in the Hampton Roads urban environment. The workshop approach is designed specifically to develop research questions within five themed-topic areas of manage coastal flooding, safeguard vulnerable populations, protect and sustain economic vitality, promote and enhance public health, and increase adaptive capacity, and frame these within the context of longer-term dynamics that facilitate the migration of human and economic activities away from risk. The 2-day workshop includes plenary and thematic information sessions, five thematic charrette sessions and a roundtable session, followed by a researcher work session for synthesis of research topics, which will result in a prescriptive-based white paper that identifies high priority research topics for coastal environments and natural hazards in populated coastal regions.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.
