GSO Dean Bruce Corliss is quoted in this review of the National Climate Assessment and its implications for Rhode Island.
“The new study is a comprehensive summary of the effects that are and will result from global climate change. In Rhode Island and in the northeast, we are seeing rising sea level, coastal erosion, storm events and changes in fisheries due to climate change, and these impacts will only increase with time,” Dean Bruce Corliss of the University of Rhode Island’s Graduate School of Oceanography told GoLocal.
“The report discusses the broad impact that climate change will have on the nation and the need to address climate change issues. Climate change is an issue that will affect virtually all citizens in the coming years and it needs attention at the federal, state and local level,” said Corliss.
