Customer Reviews

Mark Grosvenor Grosvenor Industries

“ASFPM, in partnership with NOAA, put on Coastal GeoTools. While there were a lot of compelling presentations on combating sea level rise, perhaps none struck more of a chord with me than the excellent keynote by John Englander. John presented ideas in clear and compelling ways. The take home message from John is similar to what I have been thinking a lot about lately: We will be seeing some major changes on our coasts…And if we do not plan and begin adapting now, there will be a crisis the likes of which we have not dealt with before.”

Chad Berginnis, CFM Executive Director Association of State Flood Plain Managers

“IMarEST invited John to give our prestigious Stanley Gray lecture in London. “Rising Sea Levels Demystified.” His words still echo in my ears. It was one of the best lectures I have attended in my life. It was unusually well attended and highly engaging to the audience at our Institute. His expert advice has helped our members to understand the critical issues and define a way forward to address them. Top class speaker!”
