Tidal Flooding Talk

Sand on the East Coast moves north to south. Sea level depends on the tide. We dig into the science of sand with Dr. Lenore Tedesco from The Wetlands Institute (https://wetlandsinstitute.org/)! Rising sea levels threaten marshes and beaches, underscoring vital marsh restoration projects. Beach nourishment provides short-term relief from tidal flooding, but faces long-term sustainability challenges.

Dr. Judah Cohen, Director of Subseasonal Forecasting at AER and Visiting Scientist at MIT's Parsons Lab explored Arctic predictors like Siberian snow and sea ice, polar vortex dynamics, and La Niña’s subtle impacts on Mid-Atlantic winters. Models favor milder temperatures and lighter snow for New Jersey—but will a looming stratospheric coupling unleash a 2009-style polar plunge by December?

Dr. Michael Mann, perhaps the most known name in climate, discussed how climate change is shifting Nor'easters. Inspired by the 2010 Snowmageddon, his research using 75 years of data revealed an 8% increase in maximum wind speeds due to ocean warming. He emphasized greater awareness and research to prepare coastal communities.
