Conceptual diagram illustrating saltwater intrusion on barrier islands due to climate change. As sea-level rises, ocean saltwater travels underground until it reaches the fresh groundwater in the mixing zone.
Saltwater Intrusion on Barrier Islands
On a property that was grandfathered to build on a tiny waterfront lot, the owner was allowed by the local zoning department to fill in a low wetland where his well (white pipe) and dock electric service (right center of photo) were located. As this photo documents, this low area was frequently flooded.

Conceptual diagram illustrating the effects of sea-level rise and storm surges on barrier islands. When sea-level rise combines with strong storms, barrier islands experience high storm surges, which increases the effects of flooding and erosion.

Conceptual diagram illustrating the effects of climate change on polar ice. There are two kinds of polar ice - ice that floats on the sea (sea ice) or ice that sits on land (land ice). The experiment demonstrates that sea ice does not impact sea-level rise when it melts, but land ice does add to sea-level rise when it melts into the ocean.
Experiment Demonstrating Melting Ice
Typha x glauca is a sterile F1 hybrid between Typha angustifolia and Typha latifolia. Found in freshwater habitats such as interior wetlands of Assateague Island, Maryland.
