Join WGBH host Edgar B. Herwick III and a panel of experts — meteorologist Harvey Leonard, ocean and climate change expert Dr. Scott Doney (pictured below,) WGBH/WCAI science editor Heather Goldstone, and director of the Massachusetts Office of Coastal Zone Management Bruce Carlisle — to discuss some of the hot-button issues surrounding climate change and what rising sea levels will mean for New England — maybe within our lifetimes. What if a Hurricane Sandy hits here? What would the city of Boston look like afterwards? Can anything be done? These and other questions will be explored at this lively discussion, which is part of WGBH’s Smart Conversation series. A short reception will follow. The event will take place on Friday, March 28 beginning at 7 pm at the WGBH studios in Allston. $25 for WGBH members, $35 for non members.
