In 2005, Distinguished Professor, Oceanographer, & Storm Surge Working Group Chair Malcolm Bowman, published an op-ed in the New York Times, just after Hurricane Katrina's devastating toll on Louisiana. 

Chair Bowman urged the City of New York to heed warning and prepare for similar extreme weather events that will have dangerous implications. 

Less than 10 years later, Dr. Bowman was proven correct with the intense landfall of Superstorm Sandy and devastating storm surge.
