Now Accepting Abstracts for 2027 Conference!

We are now accepting abstract submissions for our 2027 Conference: Nature-Based Coastal Resilience in Urban Settings. This conference includes a conference lens for all presentations, as well as four subject tracks.

Conference Lens: impacts across multiple spatial and temporal scales

All submissions should demonstrate consideration of impacts across multiple spatial and temporal scales. Authors should discuss how their work contributes to longer-term environmental, social, economic, or governance outcomes and consider implications beyond individual projects, sites, funding cycles, and short-term objectives. We encourage presenters to reflect on broader system-level effects, including connections between local and regional scales, human and natural systems, and immediate benefits versus impacts that may emerge over decades or generations.

Conference Tracks

1. Planning across temporal scales for resilient coastal systems
2. Scaling Nature-based Solutions through partnerships, funding and policy
3. Innovation to accelerate coastal resilience
4. People, place and participation
5. Other

All proposals are due November 30, 2026 by 11:59PM. Click here for more information about the tracks, as well as presentation formats and FAQs.
