Episode Synopsis "Episode 2 - Ghost Forests: The Sentinels of Rising Water"

In this episode, we learn about ghost forests. Now you might be thinking, what do haunted woods have to do with coastal science? Actually, ghost forests are not haunted woods at all, but coastal forests that have died due to rising sea levels. Find out more about these spectres of the coast in our interview with Dr. Elliott White, a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Virginia. Learn about ghost forests, how artists help scientists make observations, and about why you should avoid being hit in the face with an Atlantic Sturgeon. Check out Elliot's website here to learn more about his work!
