UMaine's Fogler Library purchases a broad range of materials to support research and teaching needs on campus. On this page, you will find a selection of works in Fogler Library (and beyond!) that emphasize the potential impacts of, and adaptations to, climate change among populations throughout the world. This interdisciplinary subject is growing in visibility, and is the subject of course work throughout the university.
This list of resources corresponds with a film series on the same topic. See the flyer below. This year's series is jointly sponsored by Fogler Library, the Climate Change Institute, the Department of Anthropology, Native American Programs, the Mitchell Center for Sustainability Solutions, and the School of Economics. Many thanks to Associate Professor Cindy Isenhour for her continued collaboration!
