Nearly 40 percent of the United States population lives along coastlines, where coastal regions are major economic drivers, contain transport routes for overland cargo, and have a wide variety of critical infrastructure at-risk due to extreme wind and waves. These locations will suffer increased flooding hazards to the built and natural environments, via climate change, through sea level rise, abnormal weather patterns, and extreme coastal storms. The recent aftermath of Hurricane Ian in Florida in 2022 has demonstrated the destructive potential of increased waves and water levels. Yet, there is no experimental facility in the United States that can simulate holistic wave-driven processes at full scale to foster coastal climate resilience. This award will support a workshop to identify 1) the critical gaps in holistic coastal processes research and experimental facilities; 2) the needed characteristics of an academic-based, national, full-scale wave facility; and 3) the needed computational capabilities to support the wave facility. This workshop contributes to the National Science Foundation role in the National Windstorm Impact Reduction Program. The workshop will be held on 16 May 2023, at the University of Delaware in Newark, Delaware. The workshop will identify critical research gaps in coastal processes of importance to the natural and built environment to foster climate resilience, including, but not limited to, wave-current interaction, impact forces on infrastructure, scour and sediment transport, damage and failure, geotechnical characteristics, and foundation stability. The workshop will then explore the design characteristics and capabilities needed for a full-scale wave facility and the corresponding supporting computational efforts. The workshop will include participants from the United States and abroad, representing academia, government, non-governmental organizations, the private sector, and wave laboratories. A workshop report will outline the critical research questions requiring a full-scale wave facility for inquiry and the design characteristics of such a facility. The report will be publicly available on the NSF-supported Natural Hazards Engineering Research Infrastructure DesignSafe Data Depot (https://www.DesignSafe-ci.org).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.

近40％的美国人口居住在沿海地区，沿海地区是主要的经济驱动因素，其中包含陆上货物的运输路线，并且由于极端的风和波浪，危险中有各种关键的基础设施。这些地点将通过气候变化，海平面上升，异常天气模式和极端沿海风暴来增加对建筑和自然环境的洪水危害。 2022年，佛罗里达州伊恩（Ian）飓风最近发生的后果证明了波浪和水位增加的破坏性潜力。但是，在美国没有实验设施可以完全模拟整体波浪驱动的过程，以促进沿海气候弹性。该奖项将支持一个研讨会，以确定1）整体沿海流程研究和实验设施的关键差距； 2）基于学术的国家，全尺度波浪设施所需的特征； 3）支持波浪设施所需的计算功能。 该研讨会有助于国家科学基金会在全国风暴影响减少计划中的角色。该研讨会将于2023年5月16日在特拉华州纽瓦克的特拉华大学举行。该研讨会将确定对自然和建筑环境重要性的沿海过程中的关键研究差距，以促进气候弹性，包括但不限于波浪交互，对基础设施，冲刷和沉积物的影响，冲洗和沉积物运输，损害和失败，地球技术特征以及基础稳定性的影响力。然后，研讨会将探索全尺度波浪设施所需的设计特性和功能以及相应的支持计算工作。 该研讨会将包括来自美国和国外的参与者，代表学术界，政府，非政府组织，私营部门和波浪实验室。研讨会报告将概述重要的研究问题，需要进行全面的波浪设施以进行查询和此类设施的设计特征。 The report will be publicly available on the NSF-supported Natural Hazards Engineering Research Infrastructure DesignSafe Data Depot (https://www.DesignSafe-ci.org).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.
