Lower Income and Higher Seas
On today's HearSay we continue our series focusing on the impact of sea level rise on the Hampton Roads region. On this installment we view the issue through a socioeconomic lens as we're joined by members of Old Dominion University's Climate Change & Sea Level Rise Initiative for an examination of how our region's "medically fragile and modest- to low-income" populations are especially vulnerable to rising sea levels.

Scheduled Guest:

Joshua Behr - Research Associate Professor, Old Dominion University

Tal Ezer - Professor of Oceanography, Old Dominion University

Hua Liu - Assistant Professor of Geography, Old Dominion University
