FEC 国际项目办公室开启新篇章!
A new era of FEC International Project Office!
FEC的首席国际项目办公室现由IPO-中国(华东师范大学河口海岸科学国家重点实验室, SKLEC-ECNU 和中国科学院烟台海岸带研究所, YIC-CAS)和IPO-澳大利亚(南十字星大学,SCU)共同主持。感谢莱布尼茨热带海洋研究中心(ZMT)在过去三年的领导,我们期待着与他们继续合作!
令人惋惜的是弗吉尼亚理工大学(VT)于2021年12月底退出了未来地球海岸国际项目办公室(FEC-IPO)。不过, 好消息是,马里兰大学环境中心(UMCES)会继续,与此同时我们的分布式IPO将加入两个新单位,即阿根廷海洋研究所(IADO-CONICET-UNS)和加纳海岸角大学的海岸管理中心-非洲海岸复原力卓越中心(CCM-ACECoR)。
感谢ZMT和VT一直以来的付出,欢迎CCM-ACECoR和IADO-CONICET-UNS的加入!我们相信在SKLEC&YIC和SCU的共同带领下,FEC会变得越来越好!

Now, Future Earth Coasts’ head office is co-hosted by IPO-China (State Key Laboratory of Estuarine Coastal Science, East China Normal University, SKLEC-ECNU & Yantai Institute of Coastal Zone Research, Chinese Academy of Sciences, YIC-CAS) and IPO-Australia (Southern Cross University, SCU). We thank Leibniz Zentrum für Marine Tropenforschung (ZMT) for their leadership over the past three years and look forward to a continued connection.
We are so sorry to tell that Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University (VT) have exited from the FEC at the end of December 2021. However, fortunately, Integration and Application Network (IAN) at the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science (UMCES) will continue and our distributed IPOs will be joined by two new units, the Instituto Argentino de Oceanografía (IADO-CONICET-UNS) in Argentina and the Centre for Coastal Management - Africa Centre of Excellence in Coastal Resilience (ACECoR), University of Cape Coast in Ghana.
Thanks ZMT and VT for their dedication, and welcome CCM-ACECoR and IADO-CONICET-UNS! We believe that under the joint leadership of SKLEC & YIC and SCU, FEC will become better and better!

阿根廷海洋研究所 - 阿根廷国家科学与技术研究理事会 - 国立南方大学,阿根廷
Instituto Argentino de Oceanografía (IADO-CONICET-UNS)
Our IPO in Argentina is hosted by the Instituto Argentino de Oceanografía (IADO-CONICET-UNS).
Founded in 1969, IADO is the oldest and largest civil oceanographic institution in Argentina, known, since its inception, for having all disciplines related to marine science but with significant inter- and transdisciplinary capability for work in marine and coastal socioecological systems. Although research on the continental shelf and slope are being done at IADO, its strength has always been in estuarine, coastal wetlands and beaches. However, in the last 20 years, it has developed a solid program to study the geomorphology and dynamics of lakes and rivers. All these studies integrate interactions with local and regional stakeholders and decision-makers. Both the research groups and departments are primarily for organisational reasons. Most of the research is being done across areas and groups. 

卫星监测风暴后的海滩恢复 - 澳大利亚黄金海岸
Satellite Monitoring for Post-storm Beach Recovery - Gold Coast, Australia
通过开发一种自动提取水边线的方法,调查2015年至2020年间澳大利亚黄金海岸的风暴后海滩恢复模式,该方法利用Sentinel-1合成孔径雷达(SAR)卫星图像和潮汐状态数据来调查净增殖或侵蚀,取决于水边线是向岸边移动(侵蚀)还是向外移动(增殖)。该项目调查了研究期间黄金海岸的水边线变化的年度趋势和水边线对特定风暴事件的反应,以了解海岸线的哪些部分受到影响。
在成功通过SCO认证后,该项目将被纳入空间气候观测站,点击此处了解更多。

Investigating patterns of post-storm beach recovery in the Gold Coast, Australia between 2015 and 2020 through development of an automated methodology for waterline extraction that utilises Sentinel-1 Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) satellite imagery and tidal state data to investigate net accretion or erosion, subject to whether waterlines move shoreward (erosion) or offshore (accretion). The project investigates annual trends of waterline change and waterline response to specific storm events along the Gold Coast during the study period to understand which parts of the coastline are affected.
Inclusion of the project in the Space Climate Observatory (following successful SCO certification):

英国纽卡斯尔大学全额资助的博士生机会
Fully funded PhD opportunity, based at Newcastle University (UK)
The context of the Anthropocene presents a new set of challenges where the interconnections between people and the environment become ever more dynamic and significant (Folke et al 2021). Social-ecological resilience, defined as ‘the capacity to adapt or transform in the face of change…in ways that continue to support human well-being (Biggs et al. 2015), is a highly interdisciplinary framework that has been widely applied to study peopleenvironment interactions across a diversity of contexts. Nurturing resilience is also a significant public policy goal: achieving a ‘resilient and increasingly viable fishing sector in the UK’ is a strategic priority for the Marine Management Organisation (MMO) who are partnered in this research project. This project applies a social-ecological resilience framework to understand how climate change will impact the UK fisheries sector and to assess the capacities of different fishing sectors to adapt to change. The project will utilise publicly available data such as the CEFAS Data Archives (FIshDAC) and MEDIN network. Primary data on adaptive capacity will be collected as part of a North-East fisheries case study. Staff at the MMO and Newcastle University will help connect the student to existing citizen science initiatives, including ‘citizen observatories’ and assist in piloting techniques with fisheries stakeholders in the north-east.
