Climate Change Research on Deal Island

Dr. Michael Paolisso and Graduate students at the Univeristy of Maryland were featured in TERP magazine in an article titled The Tides That Bind, authored by Liam Farrell. The article focuses on their work on the Deal Island Peninsula and the people that deal with problems of climate change daily. The article shows the importance that BSOS and UMD can have in a local, Maryland community. Read the full article here.

The project has received funding from NOAA to pursue topics focusing on religion, churches, and rural decision makers and climate change. This funding will be complemented by state funding that is to protect shorelines and address flooding issues identified by this project. This was made possible by the contributions of UMD PHD graduates and student: Christy Miller Hessed, Jo Johnson, and Liz van Dolah.
