Post-Hurricane Sandy research has improved our understanding of coastal resilience during major storm events, accelerated sea level rise, and other climate-related factors, helping to enhance science-based decision-making, restoration, and management of coastal systems. The central question this special section examines is: “looking across the breadth of research, natural resource management actions and restoration projects post-Hurricane Sandy, what can we say about coastal impact, recovery, and resilience to prepare for increasing impacts of future storms?” These five studies, along with lessons from other published and unpublished research, advance our understanding beyond just the documentation of hurricane impacts but also highlights both natural and managed recovery, thereby advancing the developing field of coastal resilience.

飓风桑迪后的研究提高了我们对重大风暴事件，加速的海平面上升以及其他与气候相关的因素期间的海岸复原力的理解，有助于增强基于科学的决策，海岸系统的恢复和管理。本专题讨论的核心问题是：“纵观飓风桑迪之后的研究，自然资源管理行动和恢复项目的广度，对于沿海的影响，恢复和复原力，我们可以说些什么，以为未来的暴风雨带来更大的影响做准备？ ” 这五项研究，以及其他已发表和未发表的研究的教训，不仅使我们对飓风影响的记录得到了进一步的了解，而且还强调了自然恢复和有管理的恢复，从而推动了沿海抗灾力的发展领域。
