What's my hazard? Meaningful and actionable coastal science for property owners, planners, and practitioners
What's my hazard? Meaningful and actionable coastal science for property owners, planners, and practitioners
Session ID#: 84967
Session Description:
Coastal hazards affect both human and natural systems in ways that can be sudden, dramatic, and/or irreversible. The coastal science community is increasingly recognizing a responsibility to disseminate hazard information--in the form of online tools, websites, and publications--to increase its utility and accessibility to a variety of users, such as resource managers, homeowners, and the general public. Simultaneously, decision-science has facilitated collaborations between coastal researchers and stakeholders, thus informing research approaches. This multidisciplinary session examines how coastal hazard observational and modeling research is developed, communicated, and applied to meet user information needs. We encourage contributions from a range of disciplines that investigate the dissemination of coastal hazards research, where examples describing the integration of science to support actionable decision-making are of particular interest. We also encourage contributions describing successful collaborations between managers and researchers, where user needs have directly informed scientific approaches or the resultant products. This session will also provide an opportunity to discuss the problem of "information overload" where the plethora of tools and resources, often that have not been evaluated against one another, leave a user wondering where to start.
