Sea Secrets 2018 Lecture Series

The Water Will Come

Jeff Goodell, Contributing Editor at Rolling Stone and a Fellow at New America

Acclaimed journalist and book author Jeff Goodell travelled across 12 countries to interview scien-tists and leaders and report firsthand how climate change and sea level rise are affecting major cities, coastal villages, island nations… and the military. In a conversation with Miami Herald environmental reporter Jenny Staletovich, Jeff will discuss his new book, The Water Will Come: Rising Seas, Sinking Cities, and the Remaking of the Civilized World; and the power of science to inform good decisions.

Jeff Goodell is the author of six books, including: How to Cool the Planet: Geoengineering and the Audacious Quest to Fix Earth’s Climate won the 2011 Grantham Prize Award of Special Merit, one of the highest awards in environmental journalism; and Big Coal: The Dirty Secret Behind America’s Energy Future, which the New York Times called “a compelling indictment of one of the country’s biggest, most powerful and most antiquated industries…well-written, timely, and powerful.” As a commentator on energy and climate issues, Goodell has appeared on NPR, MSNBC, CNN, CNBC, ABC, NBC, Fox News and The Oprah Winfrey Show.
