Tidal Flooding Talk

Dr. Garrett Broad, a Rowan University professor, discusses his work in sustainability within communication studies with Palma and Joe. Inspired by a course on ecological utopias during his undergraduate studies in the Netherlands, he shifted his focus from political science to environmental issues. His book, More Than Just Food, examines how community-based organizations use food to promote health, economic development, and environmental action in low-income areas.

🏄Dan, Palma and Joe speak with Werner Surf School owner and MATES High School Science Teacher David Werner. David shared how the shore has changed, the challenge of teaching surfers about ocean dangers, and how rip currents can be tricky.

We then wrapped up discussing surfing in Ireland, how beach projects affect surfing, and why it’s important to be careful and know your limits.

Our reboot of Tidal Flooding Talk wouldn't be complete without our most recurring guest. Jim Eberwine, retired National Weather Service forecaster, Absecon Emergency Manager and FEMA lecturer, joined the show. He shared concerns about AI and technological advancements reshaping weather forecasting, stressing that human intuition remains vital. He noted a quiet weather year with no major nor'easters, though a minor tidal flooding event was expected, and underscored the need for coastal flooding preparedness amid potential funding cuts and fading memories of storms like Hurricane Sandy. Eberwine highlighted Hurricane Ida’s severe impact on New Jersey and New York, driven by its intensity and challenges from dense populations and aging infrastructure. He also cautioned that a persistent northwest wind pattern could cause dry conditions and wildfires, with cold ocean temperatures complicating East Coast forecasts.
