Extreme storms, rising sea levels, erosion, the increasing survival of invasive pests — these are just some of the climate change impacts Acadia National Park is seeing.

In response, the Schoodic Institute in Winter Harbor has announced the appointment of a climate change adaptation scientist to evaluate how Acadia and other national parks can adapt.

Chris Nadeau will build on the Winter Harbor nonprofit research center’s work evaluating how the National Park Service and others can adapt management practices to the changing climate.

Nadeau will oversee experimental habitat restoration in the Great Meadow, Bass Harbor Marsh and on mountain summits.
