Melting Ice, Rising Seas: Greenland’s Global Warning with Sharon Gray | The Blue Economy

In this episode of The Blue Economy, host Katherine O’Fallon of the Marine Research Hub of South Florida sits down with Sharon Gray from the Rising Seas Institute at Nova Southeastern University for a critical conversation broadcast directly from Ilulissat, Greenland.

Together, they explore the cascading global impact of Greenland’s melting ice on sea levels, why climate education is at the heart of the Rising Seas Institute’s mission, and how collaborative research is unlocking innovative solutions to one of the planet’s most urgent challenges.

🔹 The Rising Seas Institute’s work with Nova Southeastern University
🔹 Firsthand insights from Greenland’s ice frontlines
🔹 Why interdisciplinary approaches are essential for climate response
🔹 The balance of adaptation vs. mitigation in sea level rise strategy
🔹 The power of local knowledge in driving global climate solutions
🔹 Innovative technologies and long-term planning for rising seas
🔹 Why urgency and education must go hand in hand

If you are interested in the future of coastal communities, climate resilience, or actionable science that informs real-world decisions—this episode is a must-listen.
