Chesapeake Uncharted

Fighting sea level rise doesn't have to mean a huge construction project. Here, we examine policies and green solutions that could save coastal communities in the Chesapeake Bay region.

Cities, from the small to the huge, prepare for a wetter future. We visit Alexandria, VA; Eagle Harbor, MD; and Norfolk to answer the question: Can we afford it?

Wetlands are migrating to higher ground en masse. Barrier islands are losing the race to stay above water. And vast expanses of trees are transforming into "ghost forests." Hear how the natural world is responding to climate change in the Chesapeake Bay region.

Climate change is making it hotter. But communities of color are likely to feel the heat more. In Richmond, VA, solutions are being tested that could point the way for other American cities.

A thousand-year flood is supposed to happen only once every thousand years, right? Wrong! Ellicott City was struck by such storms in 2016 and 2018. Was it climate change?

Climate change is happening here and now in the Chesapeake Bay region. Here is a preview of Season One of “Chesapeake Uncharted.”
