Flooding in New England and particularly Vermont is becoming more prevalent. Want to know why? Ask Professor Frank J. Magilligan, Professor of Geography, Emeritus, at Dartmouth College. Professor Magilligan led Rotarians through environmental and other factors accelerating floods in recent years, highlighting the impact of Hurricane Irene that ravaged eastern Vermont in the late summer 2011. Thank you, Professor Magilligan for a wonderful presentation at our Rotary lunch earlier this week.
