WHOI’s Ocean Encounters: Rising Seas, Resilient Coasts
April 24 @ 7:30 pm - 8:30 pm
Understanding, predicting, and adapting to sea level rise
Sea levels are on the rise, but the rate and impact vary across different regions. To effectively predict and adapt to these changes, it’s crucial to understand the current and historical trends of rising sea levels.
Join us for a conversation about the drivers and consequences of rising sea levels—and adaptation strategies to protect lives and livelihoods by making our coastlines and infrastructure more resilient
