The king tide is approaching. Scientists are preparing to 'catch' it. (opens the original)
Read excerpt
As midday’s high tide neared on Wednesday, pilot Rolf Wallin steered his Cessna 182 Skylane across the many coastlines of Hampton Roads. The small plane circled from the Southside across the Peninsula and Middle Peninsula, landscapes quickly alternating between urban development, suburban sprawl, beaches, forest and wetlands. Evidence of high tide was everywhere – water filling marshes, lapping onto boat docks, spilling into streets. “When you're on the ground, you see it on the road and you're
Rooftop solar program offering discounts for Virginia households (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A recently expanded initiative in Virginia allows households to go solar more cheaply. Switch Together, run by the national nonprofit Solar United Neighbors, lowers the cost of rooftop panels by pooling demand to buy them in bulk.

A study found a way to reduce coal dust in Newport News. Will it happen? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Over the past few years, advocates in Southeast Newport News have pushed the city to lower coal dust pollution in their neighborhood.

In his repeal, Trump said it “instituted a broad mandate for states and municipalities to contribute to improving
Scientists are tracking a massive algae bloom moving through the Chesapeake Bay (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The first detection happened in the Lafayette River near the Norfolk Yacht & Country Club in July. Researchers at Old Dominion University sample water in the area several times a week during the summer, when algae blooms are most likely to develop, said Margie Mulholland, a professor in ocean and earth sciences. On July 22, her team confirmed a bloom of the species Margalefidinium polykrikoides, nicknamed “Marge.” (No relation to Mulholland.) Colleagues at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Ad
