How Rising Waters Cost Us All
An Investigative Report By
Annia Ciezadlo
Annia writes about food, war and politics, not necessarily in that order. She spent the past decade and a half in the Middle East, where she was a special correspondent for The Christian Science Monitor in Baghdad and The New Republic in Beirut. Her book Day of Honey: A Memoir of Food, Love, and War won multiple awards and has been translated into Portuguese, Polish, Italian, and Dutch.
Preethi Nallu
Preethi Nallu is a writer, analyst and visual journalist from India, and the founding editor of News Deeply's independent media platform about refugees. Born in Iran, raised in India, she has reported on global displacement in a variety of contexts, from ethnic minority refugees of Myanmar to the protracted Palestinian refugee crisis and more recently, the Mediterranean crossings. Preethi has worked for mainstream media outlets and global think tanks and led multimedia campaigns and "research visualization" for the UN and humanitarian agencies.
Heather Krause
Heather’s invaluable contribution included working with the Orb team to gather, prepare and analyze data. Heather is a professionally trained mathematical statistician with years of working on complex research problems for non-profit and NGO organizations. She is the founder and principal consultant at Datassist and has worked on every continent except Antarctica. She has a strong love of finding data, analyzing it in creative ways and using cutting edge visualization methods to visualize the results. Her emphasis is on combining strong statistical analysis with clear and meaningful communication.
