SUMMARY:Adapting to a Changing Shoreline: Climate Impacts on Connecticut’s Coast
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1728500124580{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]\n\nA presentation by Julianna Barrett\, PhD.\nSaybrook Point Resort and Marina\n2 Bridge Street\, Old Saybrook CT\nStorms Irene and Sandy showed how storms can significantly alter the shoreline of Connecticut through flooding and erosion\, much as the Hurricane of 1938 did. The impacts of climate change on municipalities are likely to result in more intense rainfall events\, higher air and water temperatures\, sea level rise leading to more vulnerable beaches and dunes\, and increases to the land and infrastructure that could be inundated by rising sea levels and riverine flooding. \nJuliana Barrett\, PhD\, will discuss the impacts of climate change on the Connecticut coast and Long Island Sound. Dr. Barrett will explore the dynamic Connecticut coast and how changes to the coast are increasing due to climate change. She will discuss current and projected climate change impacts for coastal communities and Long Island Sound over the next 50 years. \nThis event is limited to 50 attendees. \nFood and a Cash Bar will be provided. \nSponsored by Saybrook Point Resort and Marina\, and Landtech. \nThank you for your interest in the ‘Adapting to a Changing Shoreline: Climate Impacts on Connecticut’s Coast’ event. \nUnfortunately\, we have reached full capacity and are no longer able to accommodate additional guests at this time. \n\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”17273″ img_size=”full” add_caption=”yes” css=””][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_btn title=”Register Now” color=”success” css=”” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fsecure.lglforms.com%2Fform_engine%2Fs%2FBF2kHjba6sRDbzyMx4fGkA%3Ft%3D1727194614|target:_blank”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1726507080062{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]Bio: Juliana Barrett is with the University of Connecticut Sea Grant College Program.
