Manomet's bi-annual magazine -- Partnerships for Sustainability -- is now available online.
Selected content from the magazine will be posted two weeks after Manomet members receive their copies in the mail.
This first edition includes Manomet President John Hagan explaining why biomass energy is not immediately carbon neutral, an exploration of climate change impact on New England and an interview with Shorebird Recovery Project Director Charles Duncan about the benefits of international cooperation.
Two senior Manomet scientists were featured in a climate change series this week on public radio station WCAI.
Senior climate change scientist Hector Galbraith and Banding Director Trevor Lloyd-Evans both appeared in the series, which was produced by WGBH/WCAI science reporter Dr. Heather Goldstone.
Galbraith spoke about climate change impact and adaptation. Lloyd-Evans spoke primarily about climate change impact on birds.
“Perhaps these myths arose because the truth is even harder to believe. How could anyone imagine small birds flying 15,000 kilometres?”
