Our Changing Coasts – Sea Level Change and Dam Removal
Nan Evans talks with Washington Sea Grant's Coastal Hazard Specialist, Dr. Ian Miller, about the intersections of coastal science, hazard and risk assessments, and planning for changes in our coastal ecosystems. Specific examples include visualizations for rising and falling sea levels in coastal Washington and the impacts that the removal of the Elwha dams had on the shoreline.
