Abstract

Shark Tooth Island, a popular recreational location on the Virginia side of the lower Potomac River, is disappearing. The causes include sea level rise, groundwater withdrawal, and isostatic adjustment. Given the island’s popularity, this presents a unique opportunity to educate the public about real impacts of climate change in a region with climate change denialism.
