Cod Museum of Natural History, Route 6A on Thursday, September 13, 2007 at
7:30 p.m.  Dr. Giese’s work is widely published and explores the study of

Thursday, September 13, 7:30 p.m.

Senior Scientist, Dr. Graham Giese 

                                The Changing Orientation of Cape Cod’s Outer
Coast

 

This discussion will present recent results from a joint PCCS/CCNS study
which indicates that bluff erosion actually increases alongshore
north-to-south by a factor of two, causing a change in orientation of the
shore. The possible cause of this change in orientation will be discussed,
as will the implications of the change with respect to movement of sediment
along this shore.  

 

The lecture is free and open to the public.  Registration is not required.
For more information please call 508.487.3622 Ext. 103 or visit us on the
