Manage episode 244933970 series 2408396
Headlines about Oysters, the James River award and the EPA getting sued over E. Coli.
How much of a role does the land sinking play in the sea level rising and why is the Bay going to be one of the worst affected areas.
Major Conclusions • Land subsidence and global sea-level rise combine to cause relative sea-level rise in the southern Chesapeake Bay region. • Land subsidence causes more than half of the observed relative sea-level rise. • Aquifer-system compaction causes more than half of the land subsidence.
