Join us for this informative discussion on current and future coastal weather trends in Maine. Learn about what drives change in our climate, how it affected the recent destructive January storms, and how it might shape weather events in the future. Our featured speakers include a former professor of meteorology who lives on Chebeague Island and a coastal scientist who specializes in flood risk. They will also address what to consider in recovering from these extreme weather events, causes and predictions of sea level rise, and how tide gauges and community science can help manage risk.
