Don't Mess With the Data: Virginia Burkett on Louisiana's Vanishing Coastline
Sep 14, 2022
In the first episode of our fourth season, Jay sits down with renowned scientist and IPCC author, Virginia Burkett, to talk about technology, its pitfalls and its promises for a water-secure future.
Burkett is the Chief Scientist for Climate and Land Use Change at the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), where she’s worked for over three decades. She is based in Louisiana and is an expert in global change and low-lying coastal zones.
We also get an update from Jay
after a busy summer and a sneak peak at the season ahead. Here
is The Deutsche Welle German
Documentary, which now
has nearly 4 million views in English alone, and the
"Water" episode of Last Week Tonight with John
Oliver that Jay
mentions.
