In 2007, Governor O'Malley asked a scientific team, chaired by University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science (UMCES) President Donald F. Boesch, to assess the impacts of climate change in Maryland. The results of that assessment were published in an August 2008 report entitled Global Warming and the Free State. Comprehensive Assessment of Climate Change Impacts in Maryland. IAN staff produced this poster summarizing the key points from the report. The poster is being displayed at a Horn Point Laboratory faculty climate change exhibit at the Lab Open House on October 11, 2008.
