摘要:The FloodRISE project, which started in 2013 in Southern California, aimed at better understanding how to promote resilience to coastal flooding. It was based on a cross-disciplinary approach, involving several research teams and local communities. Purpose: We conducted a qualitative study of the first phase of the project (2013-2015) in order to analyze its inter- and transdisciplinary aspects. Setting: We conducted this evaluation as a visiting postdoctoral researcher at UCI, not participating in the FloodRISE project. Intervention: Not applicable. Research design: We conducted 18 semi-structured interviews with members of the three project teams - modeling, social ecology and integration improve researchers’ level of readiness, in order to facilitate further interaction and increase time efficiency; and clearly address remoteness issues to avoid lower collaboration between central and peripheral locations.
