sea level rise

7-9-12: Maryland Morning with Sheilah Kast

Sea levels are rising around the world, but they're rising even faster on Maryland's shores. We talk with the lead author of a U.S. Geological Survey report to find out why.

Then, we revisit a piece from our "Across the Divide" series in which a young Baltimorean tells us her story of ethnic identity.

Tom Hall talks to University of Maryland professor Michael Olmert about his play on the University's fight to integrate their football team.

Plus, author Allison Leotta talk to Sheilah about her sexy new legal thriller, Discretion.
