Stony Brook University (SBU) oceanography professor and storm surge expert Dr. Malcolm Bowman was interviewed by and provided research data to PBS' "Nova" for a one-hour documentary special on Sandy that aired November 18, 2012 on PBS in the U.S. and on the BBC in the UK. In the special, "Nova" showed storm footage and spent time on the question of whether superstorms are becoming more frequent and what can be done to protect coastlines.
