10/9/2007 Land & Sea Interaction Cape Cod has long intrigued visitors to its narrow sandy peninsula. Trace the evolution of our present understanding of the geological processes responsible for Cape Cod's coastal forms and changing coastlines. Graham Giese is a senior scientist and co-founder of PCCS. His widely published works explore sea waves, tides, and ocean phenomena which affect the land and how it is formed. This talk will provide a brief introduction to the study of land-sea interactions and provide insight into the subject using examples from research carried out in the Caribbean, Philippines and Cape Cod.
Theresa Barbo
10/16/2007 Stewardship and Sustainability of Cape Cod Bay Cape Cod Bay is located in the southernmost region of the Gulf of Maine. Human interaction within the bay will be analyzed. Theresa Barbo, M.A., is a published author, maritime historian, and Director of the Cape Cod Bay Ocean Sanctuary Program, a public policy initiative of PCCS. Barbo will discuss her current project as part of a Working Partnership that will apply for a No Discharge Area designation for Cape Cod Bay, which would prohibit the dumping of raw or treated human waste into the bay.
Amy Costa
10/23/2007 Monitoring Water Quality PCCS began a long-term study of the water quality in Cape Cod Bay in 2006 as a follow-up to the Center's four year study of the effects of the Boston Effluent Outfall. Now in its second season, the program studies downstream sources of pollution and analyzes effects on the ecosystem of the bay. Amy Costa, Ph.D., is the Director of the Cape Cod Bay Monitoring Program. Costa will reveal how pollution, eutrophication and habitat degradation affect our coastal waters. The present health of Cape Cod Bay will also be discussed and specific areas of interest to scientists will be identified. # # PCCS is a private, non-profit dedicated to conducting scientific research with emphasis on marine mammals, coastal and marine habitats, and resources in the North Atlantic.
