How Climate Change Will Alter Tides

from Please Explain (The Leonard Lopate Show) Hosted by WNYC

For this week’s Please Explain, we’ll be talking about the mystery and magic of ocean tides with Jonathan White. He’s a marine conservationist, surfer and author of a new book called, Tides: The Science and Spirit of the Ocean. White explores how tides shape lives and communities, including stories of an Inuit tribe in the Arctic that watches the tides in order to find food, and how a group of French monks live in a monastery surrounded by tidal waters. He also looks at how tides will change with the effects of climate change and how communities are preparing for those changes. Note: Jonathan Capehart guest-hosted this segment of "The Leonard Lopate Show."
