This informal series shares a more intimate view of the Climate Change Institute and its research, from Maine’s coastal landscapes and inland forests to the world’s highest peaks, to remote glaciers and lake basins, to historic and more ancient archaeological sites around the world. Come have a bite, sip a drink, and hear the human stories that shape, or are shaped by, these experiences.
