Coastal flooding this month brought renewed attention to Boston's vulnerability to high tides, and several news outlets featured the Lab's outreach efforts!
This fall, Boston will experience a spectacular tidal event: the Perigean Spring Tides (also called King Tides). These “wicked high tides” result in high tides that are 2-4 feet higher than normal. This natural phenomenon occurs a few times each year, and gives us a window into how sea level rise will soon start affecting our daily lives.
Reflections on a summer spent working with and educating the next generation!
