Victoria Coles, associate research professor

This summer, we’re deepening our understanding of Chesapeake Bay through the eyes and stories of our faculty and students at the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science. Our weekly YouTube video series called “Discovering the Chesapeake” features our scientists and the research that sets them apart. We post a new video every Monday at noon.

On Monday, July 31, Victoria Coles, a physical oceanographer at Horn Point Laboratory, discusses how she used her experience making global climate models and her curiosity of Chesapeake Bay to help the Maryland Commission on Climate Change understand what kind of climate impacts might be facing Maryland.
