Coastal Resilience Collaboratory

The Coastal Resilience Collaboratory will serve as an example of how to effectively couple the strong computational and river delta research infrastructures on these issues of national importance. Effective linkages of cyberinfrastructure that enables rapid sharing and integration of available data resources and computational tools will be evaluated. We will also evaluate how effectively these cyberinfrastructure products promote the wider use of high-performance computing and data analytics in the coastal engineering and science research community.

Community and Collaboration

Enhance the collaboration among earth scientists, computer scientists, cyberinfrastructure specialists and coastal engineers tasked with solving the sustainability issues of deltaic coasts;

Restoration and Protection

Identify risk mitigation for coastal communities subject to flooding hazards using built and green engineering approaches (integrate restoration and protection)

Sciences and Cyberinfrastructure

Leverage NSF investments in cyberinfrastructure to address problems of major national importance involving engineering design guided by coastal system responses to specific hazard mitigation projects.
