U.S. coasts feature a number of bays and estuaries within which many metropolitan cities are located: Washington, D.C. near Chesapeake Bay, New York City on the Hudson River, Boston on Massachusetts Bay, and San Francisco on San Francisco Bay, just to name a few. The impacts of storms and sea level rise on estuaries and bays are just beginning to be understood, and many questions remain unanswered. The semi-enclosed nature of bays also brings a unique set of challenges and opportunities for developing engineering or nature-based solutions to protect coastal infrastructure and communities. Natural habitats, such as salt marshes, oyster reefs, and sand dunes, offer coastal protection with ecosystem benefits, but the effectiveness and environmental impacts of these structures are not well understood. A shared network of waterways connects the diverse population of a basin, from urban centers to rural communities, presenting new challenges linking socio-economic disparities and environmental factors. This CoPe RCN will synthesize insights from existing coastal resiliency projects around the country and propose bold new strategies that integrate ecosystem enhancement and recovery to protect coastal communities and infrastructure. It will provide interdisciplinary training to young scientists through workshops and focus-group interactions. The RCN will have strong outreach activities through engagement with stakeholders in federal, state, and local governments; not-for-profit organizations; and coastal communities. The goal is to translate research results into specific recommendations for developing coastal resiliency solutions and seek stakeholders' feedback to orient academic research towards addressing pressing concerns faced by urban and rural communities living around the Nation's estuaries and bays.The Estuarine CoPe RCN will bring together oceanographers, engineers, ecologists, and social scientists to discuss major open questions in the interdisciplinary science of coastal resiliency. The RCN will synthesize recent advances in estuarine resiliency research and involve researchers working on several bays and estuaries: Chesapeake Bay, Hudson River and New York Harbor, Massachusetts Bay and San Francisco Bay. Comparative studies between these systems will be conducted, including analysis and modeling of sea level rise, coastline retreat and ecosystem change, risk analysis, dynamic barriers, engineered and nature-based mitigation structures, and the social science of coastal communities' responses to risks. Three in-person workshops are planned and each workshop will be followed by one-day stakeholder meetings at which investigators will engage with stakeholder communities. Regular virtual meetings through video-conferencing will be scheduled for focus group discussions. A steering committee, consisting of researchers from multiple institutions, will guide the RCN activities.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.

美国沿海地区有许多大都市城市的海湾和河口：华盛顿特区在切萨皮克湾附近，哈德逊河，马萨诸塞州湾的波士顿和旧金山旧金山湾的旧金山，仅举几例。风暴和海平面上升对河口和海湾的影响刚刚开始被理解，许多问题仍然没有解决。海湾的半封闭性质还带来了开发工程或基于自然的解决方案来保护沿海基础设施和社区的独特挑战和机会。盐沼，牡蛎礁和沙丘等自然栖息地提供具有生态系统益处的沿海保护，但这些结构的有效性和环境影响尚不清楚。从城市中心到农村社区，共享的水道网络将一个流域的多样化人口联系起来，提出了与社会经济差异和环境因素联系起来的新挑战。该COPE RCN将综合全国现有沿海弹性项目的见解，并提出大胆的新策略，以整合生态系统的增强和恢复，以保护沿海社区和基础设施。它将通过研讨会和重点组互动为年轻科学家提供跨学科的培训。 RCN将通过与联邦，州和地方政府的利益相关者互动而进行强大的外展活动；非营利组织；和沿海社区。该目标是将研究结果转化为开发沿海弹性解决方案的具体建议，并寻求利益相关者的反馈，以解决居住在全国河口和海湾的城市和农村社区所面临的紧迫问题。河口COPE RCN将汇总海洋，工程师，生态学家和社会科学问题，以讨论沿海科学界的范围内的科学学位，以讨论沿海地区。 RCN将综合河口弹性研究的最新进展，并参与从事多个海湾和河口的研究人员：切萨皮克湾，哈德逊河和纽约河，马萨诸塞州湾和旧金山湾。将进行这些系统之间的比较研究，包括对海平面上升，海岸线撤退和生态系统变化，风险分析，动态障碍，基于自然的缓解结构的分析和建模，以及沿海社区对风险的反应的社会科学。计划举办三个面对面的研讨会，每个研讨会都将在为期一天的利益相关者会议之后，调查人员将与利益相关者社区互动。通过视频会议定期进行虚拟会议，将安排焦点小组讨论。由来自多个机构的研究人员组成的指导委员会将指导RCN活动。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是通过基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的影响审查标准来评估值得支持的。
