Human and natural systems are interlinked in complex ways. Understanding how these social-ecological systems are and can be resilient poses one of the most pressing problems of our world today. This is especially true for many coastal communities, which are vulnerable to changes. The local ecological knowledge systems developed over millennia have historically allowed residents of coastal communities to be resilient to the weather extremes that can characterize coastal communities. However, the complex patterns and processes involved in these systems, and their potential to enhance resilience to climate change today are poorly understood. This research is grounded in a conceptual framework that integrates social-ecological resilience theory and methods, ethnobiology and ecosystem service modeling. It draws on a combination of long-term existing social and ecological datasets, new experiments, and state-of the art climate and ecosystem service modeling in multiple sites to ask: (1) What are the relationships between local ecological knowledge systems and social-ecological resilience to change? and (2) How will different land and ocean uses affect social-ecological resilience and ecosystem services in linked ridge-reef settings, under different scenarios? This research involves an interdisciplinary, international research team that crosses the natural and social sciences and bridges the marine and terrestrial fields. This research is expected to have direct benefits to society by enhancing local capacity in decision making to manage coastal areas for sustainability, and contributing to policy development in resilience and adaptation to climate change. It is integrated with interdisciplinary and international educational and training activities for undergraduate and graduate students, especially members of groups underrepresented in the sciences. It will strengthen and extend an interdisciplinary cross-national network of researchers and resource managers. The models produced will provide predictive value for the management of Pacific Island coastal systems by identifying how ecosystem services and social-ecological resilience can be maximized.

人类和自然系统以复杂的方式相互关联。了解这些社会生态系统如何具有弹性以及如何具有弹性是当今世界最紧迫的问题之一。对于许多容易受到变化影响的沿海社区来说尤其如此。几千年来发展起来的当地生态知识系统使沿海社区的居民能够抵御沿海社区特有的极端天气。 然而，人们对这些系统所涉及的复杂模式和过程以及它们增强当今气候变化抵御能力的潜力知之甚少。这项研究建立在一个概念框架之上，该框架整合了社会生态复原力理论和方法、民族生物学和生态系统服务模型。它结合了多个地点的长期现有社会和生态数据集、新实验以及最先进的气候和生态系统服务模型来提出以下问题：（1）当地生态知识系统与社会生态系统之间的关系是什么？生态环境适应变化的能力？ (2) 在不同的情景下，不同的土地和海洋用途将如何影响相连的山脊-珊瑚礁环境中的社会生态复原力和生态系统服务？ 这项研究涉及一个跨学科的国际研究团队，跨越自然科学和社会科学，连接海洋和陆地领域。这项研究预计将通过增强当地管理沿海地区可持续发展的决策能力，并为抵御和适应气候变化的政策制定做出贡献，从而为社会带来直接利益。 它与本科生和研究生，特别是科学领域代表性不足的群体成员的跨学科和国际教育和培训活动相结合。它将加强和扩展研究人员和资源管理者的跨学科跨国网络。所产生的模型将通过确定如何最大化生态系统服务和社会生态恢复力，为太平洋岛屿沿海系统的管理提供预测价值。
