IRES Track II Coastal Processes

项目摘要

Coastlines host population centers, infrastructure, diverse ecosystems, and provide valuable tourism and recreational opportunities. Coastal regions are also prone to hazards such as storms, sea level rise, and chronic erosion. There is a growing volume of data available to scientists who study coastal processes and the future dynamics of coastlines. A range of new tools and methods that can be used to extract knowledge and insight from these data, especially machine learning techniques. However these new methods are not typically part of the graduate curriculum for coastal scientists. This project is focused on developing an advanced studies institute (ASI) in Auckland, New Zealand to teach machine learning methods to 20 US graduate students studying coastal processes and coastal geomorphology. The ASI participants are the next generation of US coastal scientists, who will get jobs in industry, agency, and academic settings.The ASI is taught by several scientists who focus on applying machine learning methods to coastal problems. The institute directly impacts 20 US graduate student participants, and provides a focused experience for them to develop machine learning skills in a coastal context. The ASI is designed to leverage resources that are unique to New Zealand, including multiple high-fidelity datasets. All course materials for the ASI will be built with open source software and stored in open repositories to facilitate use in other coastal teaching and learning settings beyond this ASI. A project evaluation will investigate the ASI learning goals (post-event and longitudinally). ASI outcomes and learning materials will be disseminated in print, online, and at scientific conferences.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.

海岸线拥有人口中心、基础设施、多样化的生态系统，并提供宝贵的旅游和娱乐机会。沿海地区还容易遭受风暴、海平面上升和慢性侵蚀等灾害。研究海岸过程和海岸线未来动态的科学家可以获得越来越多的数据。一系列新工具和方法可用于从这些数据中提取知识和见解，特别是机器学习技术。然而，这些新方法通常不是沿海科学家研究生课程的一部分。该项目的重点是在新西兰奥克兰建立一个高级研究所 (ASI)，向 20 名研究海岸过程和海岸地貌的美国研究生教授机器学习方法。 ASI 参与者是下一代美国沿海科学家，他们将在工业、机构和学术环境中找到工作。ASI 由几位专注于将机器学习方法应用于沿海问题的科学家教授。该研究所直接影响 20 名美国研究生参与者，并为他们提供在沿海环境中培养机器学习技能的重点经验。 ASI 旨在利用新西兰独有的资源，包括多个高保真数据集。 ASI 的所有课程材料都将使用开源软件构建并存储在开放存储库中，以便于在 ASI 之外的其他沿海教学环境中使用。项目评估将调查 ASI 学习目标（事后和纵向）。 ASI 的成果和学习材料将以印刷品、在线和科学会议的形式传播。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
