About this opportunity

The following objectives are required for this CESU-funded project, which is to understand and predict the multi-scale eco-geomorphic evolution and ecosystem services benefits of coastal EWN solutions. Year one (1) will establish the initial structure of the project and includes tasks that support the following objectives. If funded, year two (2) and year (3) would continue to expand major elements of the project and build a diverse portfolio of collaborative EWN projects and engagements. Objective 1: Establish Collaborative EWN R&D Enterprise for understanding coastal systems. This objective prioritizes and subsequently builds a suite of diverse, collaborate R&D projects that expands current research efforts within EWN portfolio. Specifically, these projects will offer insight with respect to: (1) developing a better understanding of how coastal systems evolve after an EWN solution is deployed; and how this knowledge informs sustainable and high performing design solutions; (2) Integrating the effects and interactions of animals into the monitoring and modeling of EWN solutions; (3) assessing and predicting the resiliency of EWN solutions to changing physical conditions; and (4) evaluating and quantifying scale- and context-dependencies of EWN solutions. The breadth of projects is strengthened by the caliber of multi-disciplinary researchers that integrate capabilities, resources and expertise to target very deliberative endpoints that advance EWN research. During the first year, it is anticipated that researchers associated with USACE and the selected team will initiate 3-5 R&D EWN projects, which ultimately lead to expanded technology transfer opportunities. Objective 2: Identify and Pursue EWN Field-Demonstration Projects. Demonstrations are applied research projects critical to the overall success of an EWN solution. As such, this objective seeks to establish field-demonstration projects that integrate research projects with a diverse number of collaborators, in addition to the core participants ( members of the successful team and USACE’s EWN researchers). Demonstration projects could include field testing the EWN monitoring-modeling system at a site where EWN solutions are under consideration and use this to project the eco-geomorphic evolution of alternative EWN solutions proposed for the site. Selection and/or prioritization of demonstration projects would be determined based on a system-level opportunity assessment and/or restrictions as well as other considerations specific to environmental conditions; collaboration with partners; suitability for monitoring and modeling; access to informative public interest; input of collaborative funding, etc. It is expected that 2 or 3 field demonstration projects will be identified and actively pursued in the first year. Objective 3: Launch and Operate EWN Communication Platform for Enhanced Public Communication. A successful communication platform will result in the timely delivery of informational products and/or engagements across the EWN network. This objective seeks to optimize and integrate the collaborators’ proven methods of delivering products and/or successful engagements that advance EWN strategic outcomes for the public benefit. Example products include, but are not limited to: of case studies, technical notes, journal articles, etc. The selected team will work with EWN leadership and researchers to prepare most (if not all) of the referenced products. During the first year, it is expected that a minimum of 2 workshops/symposia, 1 video, 2 or 3 tech notes and 2 journal articles will be produced through a highly successful collaboration. The products derived from this collaboration are expected to generate EWN educational and public outreach opportunities.
