As sea levels rise, the threat is not just the swelling sea, but the encroaching salt that kills forests and affects farmable land.

Holly Michael, Ph.D., director of the Delaware Environmental Institute, professor, and Unidel Fraser Russell Career Development Chair for the Environment at the University of Delaware, will share her research around this changing landscape.
