    The Changing Orientation of Cape Cod's Outer Coast

    This discussion will present recent results from a joint PCCS/Cape Cod National Seashore (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. This lecture is free and open to the public. For more information please contact 508.487.3622 Ext. 103
