The Maine-Greenland Project (MELG) explores connections between social and ecological systems within Maine and Greenland. Piribeck and Gerstenblatt became interested in Greenland because of the climate crisis, and the impacts of sea-level rise on Maine and Casco Bay due to the melting sheet ice in Greenland. While working on the MELG project, they have found that understanding the climate crisis requires the study of social systems and an exploration of the conflicting themes and storylines within the crisis.
