My latest reporting details a natural way that coastal landowners are protecting their shorelines against climate change-driven sea level rise and harsher storms, vs the usual ‘hard’ approach of concrete seawalls and such.
This method creates habitat vs reducing it, and can be less costly and just as effective as the ‘hard’ options.
‘Living shorelines’ have been around for decades but gaining popularity now, and I report from Maine and New Hampshire about it for global environmental news service Mongabay:

ice visions
A number of images from my Ice Visions series were acquired by Bates Museum of Art for its permanent collection recently: the pieces join some original Snowflake Bentley prints there in Maine, fittingly. Some were featured in the Winter 2023 issue of Orion magazine.
That acquisition news sparked a feature about the project on the national NPR program Living on Earth, which can be heard here.
I exhibited this series at the Bennington Museum in late 2021 after it appeared at the Brattleboro Museum during six months from 2020-21.
See sample images and a short film about my process of capturing these abstract images created by the ice fishing community at my gallery page, here:

I reported on the recent expansion in the U.S. of agroforestry—the world’s most climate- and biodiversity-friendly form of agriculture—for global environmental news site Mongabay, where I’m also an editor and podcast producer: I’ve interviewed top conservation photographer Ami Vitale and reported a feature about the growing conservation tech field of bioacoustics there, too, view these & more here.
In 2022, I published a photoessay in the essential Northern Woodlands magazine about the interesting human-hewn stone structures one finds while rambling the New England woods.
