In this episode, we continue our conversation on sea-level rise. In Nova Scotia, the dykelands won't meet the 2050 climate projections. The community must make decisions about dykeland maintenance and salt marsh restoration. Our guest, Dr. Kate Sherren, is a researcher and professor at Dalhousie University. She studies the relationship between climate adaptation and public resistance in Atlantic Canada, especially in the face of climate-related changes, sea-level rise, and storm surge.
