The Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution produces a show called “Ocean Encounters.” Season six, episode three, which aired earlier this year, explores “Rising Seas, Resilient Coasts.”

Sea levels are rising, but they are rising at different rates in different places, with differing impacts for coastal communities and ecosystems. To predict and adapt to future sea levels, we need to understand where and why they are rising now and in the past.

This episode is a conversation about the drivers and consequences of rising sea levels—and adaptation strategies to protect lives and livelihoods by making coastlines and infrastructure more resilient.
