For Earth week, Maine Public's Molly Enking sat down with Meghan Sterling, poet laureate of Gardiner, Maine, to discuss how writing poetry helps her process emotions and get in a headspace to take action.

Archeologists who study the people who lived in the Arctic thousands of years ago are in a race against time. Coastal settlements are being washed away by erosion, storm surges and other climate changes related to global warming. Clues to the past that were frozen intact in permafrost for thousands of years are melting and being destroyed by the elements. Archeologists are looking to climate scientists to predict where the erosion will be the fastest so they can pinpoint their research on the places that will disappear the soonest. Until now the predictions have largely been too coarse to provide much guidance. But the National Park Service is trying to change this. It's funding research that supposed to forecast the threats that more than 100 coastal national parks face from sea level rise and storm surges due to climate change.

Signs featuring information about the Wabanaki people, climate science, and history had been removed from the park last year.
