The Nantucket Conservation Foundation and the Linda Loring Nature Foundation collaborate to bring Climate Change awareness and education to Nantucket.

In September 2023, we launched Nantucket’s Climate Change Summit to explore and discuss local impacts and actions on the island. Join us this winter to keep the education and conversation going!

As an evolution of our previous Nantucket Coastal Ecology Class, join us for a series of FREE Zoom Lectures and in-person field trips bringing Climate Change information to the public.

February 7th: Talk: State of Climate Change on Nantucket

Zoom presentation with Dr. Sarah Bois (LLNF) and Dr. Jennifer Karberg (NCF)

This talk will explore the definitions of climate change and current impacts including sea level rise, erosion, rising groundwater, and storm surge. We will explore the models used to predict these impacts and get a solid understanding of the terminology as well as the current and future island trends. Drs. Jen Karberg (NCF) and Sarah Bois (LLNF) will share their extensive knowledge about Nantucket’s coastal ecology, including an in-depth discussion of coastal processes, climate change, and what it means for Nantucket’s coastal habitats, current nature-based coastal resilience efforts, and potential future coastal responses.

The lecture is FREE and open to all, but registration is required here.
