Life on the Edge: America’s Atlantic Coast
Lecture and DVD
Sandy Beaches ~ Rocky Coastlines ~ Tides ~ Barrier Islands ~ Salt Marshes
Glaciers ~ Estuaries ~ Pangaea ~ Plate Tectonics ~ Hurricanes ~ Gulf Current
Bird and Butterfly Migrations ~ Intertidal Life ~ Dune Formation
This unique lecture program and soon-to-be-released DVD production incorporates all of these topics into a beautiful, easily understandable 56-minute program on the origins and ongoing evolution of North America’s Atlantic Coast.
While there are enormous variations among the landforms that constitute the land-sea boundary -- the “edge” -- from Georgia to Newfoundland, there is one common element that links all of them: the Appalachian Mountains.
Through the use of video, still pictures, audio, animation, graphics, and narration, the dynamic factors involved in this common link are illustrated and explained throughout the program.
A great diversity of life forms are presented, from nesting gannets and puffins in Newfoundland, to blue crabs and rockfish in the Chesapeake Bay, to clams in the tidal flats of the Carolinas.
What people have been saying about the program:
