Presented by Dr. Ming Li of Horn Point Laboratory
Climate change, sea-level rise, and associated storms are putting Maryland’s people, property, natural resources, and public investments at risk. Sea-level rise and ocean warming may produce unexpectedly high sea levels in the Chesapeake Bay and cause extensive flooding in Maryland. Dr. Li will describe the regional impact of climate change and extreme weather events on the Chesapeake Bay. He will also show how different coastline management options lead to dramatic differences in the response of tidal ranges and storm surges to sea-level rise.
