SUMMARY:Biology Lecture Series: Rising Seas: An Interdisciplinary Perspective for NSU STEM Students
DESCRIPTION:Coastal cities worldwide are experiencing worsening floods. A 
 growing concern is how high seas will rise and how soon. John Englander is 
 a noted oceanographer\, now leading the Rising Seas Institute at NSU. He 
 explains the science in plain language using simple graphics and 
 descriptions from his many trips to the polar regions.\n\nThis lecture is 
 for NSU affiliates only.  Please register with your NSU email.\n\n 
 \n\nAbout the Presenter\n\nJohn Englander is a renowned oceanographer\, 
 multi-book author\, speaker\, and expert on climate change and sea level 
 rise. His 2012 book\, High Tide on Main Street explained the science in 
 easy-to-understand terms. Politico listed it as one of the top fifty books 
 to read. Englander’s 2021 book\, Moving to Higher Ground: Rising Sea 
 Level and the Path Forward (The Science Bookshelf) is rated 
 5-Stars.\n\nOver a million people have read his books\, or heard his 
 message through blogs and talks in the U.S. and internationally\, including 
 a TEDx talk. He has given expert testimony to the US Congress and presented 
 to military leadership including the US Navy\, US Air Force\, the US Coast 
 Guard. Internationally he has briefed top military leaders from Canada\, 
 Denmark\, Finland\, Iceland\, Norway\, Russia\, and Sweden.\n\nEnglander is 
 consistently rated as one of the best speakers on climate change and sea 
 level rise. He works to help diverse professionals understand why sea level 
 will rise far higher than most can imagine\, and likely much sooner as 
 well. As a leading spokesperson for “intelligent adaptation”\, John 
 advocates that\, we must move to higher ground globally. This will have 
 hard-to-imagine effects in 140 coastal nations. The sooner we begin 
 planning for this profound disruption\, the better.\n\nJohn’s background 
 as a scientist\, explorer\, entrepreneur\, and CEO (International 
 SeaKeepers Society\, The Cousteau Society) combine to help him assess not 
 just the scientific impacts of profound SLR\, but also the business\, 
 economic\, and humanitarian impacts. John Englander is the founding 
 Director of the Rising Seas Institute\, a nonprofit program that has become 
 part of Nova Southeastern University (NSU)\, www.nova.edu in 2025.
