Tidal Power in Down East Maine "We're interested in understanding the human dimensions of tidal power. We want to know what the community's concerns are and what questions they want addressed." Teresa Johnson, UMaine School of Marine Sciences

Mapping Maine's Future "The idea is anticipating the future to make better land use decisions. These models help people step back and see patterns and trends. It gets them thinking about the big picture and the irreversibility and hidden costs of what we do." Rob Lilieholm, UMaine School of Forest Resources

Sustaining Our Lakes

"Community
engagement in the research process takes a lot of time, but the outcomes can be much more
significant than traditional research programs."
D. Whitney King, Dept. of Chemistry,
