Dear Colleagues,
We invite you to consider submitting an abstract to the session: “Science for Disaster Resilience and Risk Reduction to Coastal Hazards” at the Ocean Sciences Meeting in New Orleans, LA (February 18-23, 2024).
Topic Area: Resilience to Ocean Hazards: RH008
Session ID: 195937
Session Title: RH008: Science for Disaster Resilience and Risk Reduction to Coastal Hazards (confex.com)
Deadline: 13 September 2023
Description:
Proactive hazard mitigation and adaptation strategies that incorporate the best available coastal science could reduce disaster risk and improve resilience to coastal hazards, which are expected to worsen with a changing climate. Interdisciplinary applied scientific investigations can improve our understanding of coastal hazards and their impacts on frontline communities, thereby facilitating improved disaster response and recovery. Innovative scientific tools, co-developed with active participation from communities with user-centered design principles, will lead to more effective communication of coastal hazards risk and improve the efficiency of resilience and risk reduction efforts in communities with a vested interest. This session will feature case studies and highlight best practices by projects that incorporate coastal scientific data into decision-making at a range of scales from the local community, state-managed regions up to national programs and international collaborations for regional-scale or climate-scale hazards. We encourage submissions employing a range of scientific tools, such as online databases, guided decision support tools and citizen science techniques, to inform their decision-making and development of management strategies. Presentations of best practices for collaborating with coastal communities on the co-development of hazard decision support tools that aid in their planning of mitigation and adaptation measures against coastal hazards are strongly encouraged.
Thank you.
