Please join us on Thursday, August 8th for the World Premiere of our upcoming short film on sea level rise, Uncertainty.
Seas are rising, but how high will they rise? Uncertainty, a short film from Duy Linh Tuy and the Science Communication Lab, takes us to the Mississippi River Delta to see rising waters through the lens of an earth scientist, a civil engineer, and a geographer. Their studies of land, history, and the water itself show how scientists try to grapple with uncertainty to understand what’s happening, and to support efforts to plan for the future.
Following the screening, Jennifer Frazier of the Science Communication Lab will moderate a conversation with climate adaptation scientist Dr. Letitia Grenier of the Public Policy Institute of California and Executive Producer Elliot Kirschner exploring sea level rise in the Bay Area and how science and film help us visualize and plan.
