What does a scientist who served as a Highly Qualified Expert (HQE) for the Defense Department due upon retirement? Move to Maine and write about the experience, of course.
The books, “Demystifying Climate Risk, Volumes I and II,” are distillations of the First Annual International Technical Workshop on Climate Risk hosted by the former HQE and now editor, Dr. Carole LeBlanc, in Wells in October 2016.
The first book covers environmental, health and societal impacts while the second book focuses on industry and infrastructure.
The Second Annual International Technical Workshop on Climate Risk was held Oct. 25 to 26, 2017, in Kennebunk. Highlights of that event include keynote speaker and Nobel Prize recipient, Dr. Donald Wuebbles. Efforts to publish the results of the workshop are underway.
LeBlanc also serves as adjunct professor at the University of New England on the Biddeford campus in the Environmental Studies Department.
The books are available through Amazon and other online retailers or through the publisher, Cambridge Scholars, and their network of distributors.
