Dr. Rob Young Update on National Parks Vulnerability + Reaction to IPCC Report and CBRA Rule Change

On this episode, hosts Peter Ravella and Tyler Buckingham are joined by Dr. Rob Young (Director of the Program for the Study of Developed Shorelines at Western Carolina University) to discuss three major topics on the American Shoreline: Rob's work with the National Parks Service to develop vulnerability assessments for infrastructure in coastal parks to guide resilience policies, the recent IPCC report and what it means to the American Shoreline, and finally the CBRA rules change prohibiting federal funding for sand sourced within CBRA units. But, before they get into the heavy stuff, Peter and Tyler collect Rob's field notes from his family's trip to the beautiful coastal nation of Croatia. It's a great show with one one of the American Shoreline's most provocative and influential thinkers. Only on ASPN!
