Improving Communities and Ecosystems: The Coastlines and People Program

Wednesday, July 17, 9:45 to 10:45 a.m. MDT
Location: Ponderosa

The National Science Foundation's Coastlines and People program, or COPE, supports five large-scale research hubs that work to advance the understanding of coastal systems, processes, and hazards. In this session, hub members—practitioners, community members, and academics—will give an overview of their collaborative approach and share examples of work that has transformed scientific knowledge and influenced decision-making. Strengths and weaknesses of their methods and suggestions for sustaining involvement and future co-production efforts will also be discussed.
