About the Episode

Dr. Ellen Douglas, an Associate Professor of Hydrology at UMass Boston, explains how climate change and rising sea levels will impact Boston, its coastline and its residents. In reports from over the past 15 years, the projections show exponential rise through the year 2100 and as Douglas says, "we need to be prepared for it."
