项目摘要

Focused CoPe: Heat waves in the Southern California coastal zone: Their oceanic and atmospheric drivers, human health impacts, and sustainable adaptationThis Hub will study how the ocean influences extreme heat waves that impact the coastal region of Southern California, presently and in the future. Efforts will concentrate on the linkage among the atmosphere, ocean, and land, while trying to understand the role of coastal clouds on the heat waves. Emphasis will also be on the relationship between heat waves and human health and how the effects can be mitigated equitably with greening strategies in coastal areas of Southern California. Greening strategies will be guided by studies of interactions among plants and freshwater resources under a changing climate. The study will involve different non-academic sectors to plan strategies for heat wave adaptation and to assess how these strategies can be equitable and sustainable. Findings should be transferrable to other coastal regions in the world. The Hub will train more than 100 high school teachers around San Diego, CA, and will provide internships to disadvantaged high school and community college students. This proposed Hub will study the spatial and human-dimension dynamics of extreme heat waves, originating from the ocean, as part of climate change (i.e., in the present and future). Research on the atmosphere-land-ocean linkage will a) increase understanding of the interaction between coastal cloud processes and marine/terrestrial heat waves; b) create a data product capable of resolving weather patterns influencing heat waves in coastal regions; c) examine the impact of heatwaves on people’s health through environmental-focused epidemiological research; and d) advance ecohydrological research by examining how interactions among plants, hydrology and climate change affect greening zones. The study will further explore the sustainability and equity of decisions designed to combat heat waves in the coastal zone of Southern California. The Hub will result in co-produced research and outputs that will be based on science and that will be driven by data. Co-produced results will guide planning strategies for heat adaptation in Southern California. Activities should be transferable to other coastal regions in different parts of the world. The Hub will provide professional learning for ~125 local high school teachers in the San Diego, CA, area. It will furnish internships to underrepresented high school and community college students to participate in climate research and education.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.

重点 CoPe：南加州沿海地区的热浪：其海洋和大气驱动因素、人类健康影响和可持续适应该中心将研究海洋如何影响目前和未来影响南加州沿海地区的极端热浪。工作重点将集中在大气、海洋和陆地之间的联系，同时努力了解沿海云对热浪的作用，重点还将放在热浪与人类健康之间的关系以及如何公平地减轻其影响。和南加州沿海地区的绿化策略将以气候变化下植物和淡水资源之间相互作用的研究为指导。该研究将涉及不同的非学术部门来规划热浪适应策略并评估这些策略的效果。该中心将在加利福尼亚州圣地亚哥周边地区培训 100 多名高中教师，并为弱势高中和社区学院的学生提供实习机会。将研究空间和作为气候变化的一部分（即当前和未来），源自海洋的极端热浪的人类维度动力学将 a) 增进对沿海云过程之间相互作用的了解。和海洋/陆地热浪； b) 创建能够解决影响沿海地区热浪的天气模式的数据产品； c) 通过以环境为重点的流行病学研究来研究热浪对人们健康的影响； d) 推进该研究将通过研究植物、水文和气候变化之间的相互作用如何影响绿化区域来进行生态水文学研究，进一步探讨旨在应对南加州沿海地区热浪的决策的可持续性和公平性。该中心将提供以科学为基础并由数据驱动的成果，以指导南加州的热适应规划策略。专业学习加利福尼亚州圣地亚哥地区约 125 名当地高中教师表示，该项目将为代表性不足的高中和社区学院学生提供参与气候研究和教育的实习机会。该奖项是 NSF 的法定使命，并通过评估被认为值得支持。利用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准。
