 's Science for Citizens Series Presents:\n\nThe Art and Science of Climate
  Change on the Coasts\n\nSold Out\n\nWhere: CBL’s Bernie Fowler Lab\, 142 
 Williams Street\, Solomons\, MD 20688\, Campus Map\n\nPre-registration is 
 required:  http://bit.ly/2UGXVyl - Sold Out\n\nCost: Free\n\n \n\n\n\nRegi
 stration for the free The Art and Science of Climate Change on the Coasts 
 event is sold out. Due to the limited space available in the meeting room\
 , we are unable to accept additional registrations. Thank you for your int
 erest in the Chesapeake Biological Laboratory!\n\n\n\nDuring this free pub
 lic seminar\, Dr. Orrin Pilkey and Mary Edna Fraser will plan to reflect o
 n their two books A Celebration of the World’s Barrier Islands\, Columbia 
 University Press\, and Global Climate Change: A Primer\, Duke University P
 ress\, in the time of sea level rise in America. \n\n\n\nThere are 2\,200 
 barrier island in the world\, found  on every continent except Antarctica.
  These amazingly dynamic features make up about 10% of the worlds open oce
 an coastlines and are found from the tropics to the Arctic . The Persian G
 ulf Islands formed in a desert environment\, the Colombian Pacific islands
  formed in a tropical rainforest environment and the barrier islands  of S
 iberia formed in the Arctic. America has by far the largest number (405) o
 f such islands\, many of which are popular tourist resorts. Each chain of 
 islands is made up of different varieties of sediment\, and is subjected t
 o different types of waves and storm histories.. The barrier Islands of Ic
 eland face some of the highest waves found in any of the worlds oceans whi
 le the islands along the Egyptian Nile Delta shore are subjected to small 
 waves as a rule. All the islands went through similar histories of sea lev
 el change and most came to their present location and shape within the las
 t 5\,000 years and most are eroding today in response to sea level rise.”
