This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award of $277,490 to Arizona State University provides support for U.S. researchers participating in a multinational Belmont Forum initiative on global environmental change research. The project, titled "Coastal Tales, Telling Adaptations: Living Environmental Stories for Coastal Resilience," focuses on integrating local and traditional knowledge, social science, and natural science to understand how past practices can deliver innovative local solutions to climate change in coastal regions. The research teams will develop transdisciplinary approaches to address cultural heritage and climate change impacts, foster international collaboration, and contribute to knowledge advances on sustainable coastal management strategies. The project involves case studies in three northern coastal regions - Kodiak Island in Alaska, Dublin Bay in Ireland, and southwest Wales - to gather stories that reflect lessons on resilience, sustainability, and adaptation. This award supports the participation of the U.S. researchers within the international consortium and their efforts to explore how local and traditional knowledge embedded in stories can help (re)discover more sustainable ways of living in rapidly changing coastal environments.
