Come join EMI at the Shipwreck and Lifesaving Museum as we host Dr. Cynthia Pilskaln for a

presentation about her work as a marine geologist and ocean climate scientist. Dr. Pilskaln has

studied sediment particle transport through the lens of climate change all over the world. You

may have heard that Nantucket can lose up to 1 foot per year of coastline in some places, but

how does this happen and what can we do to improve our Island’s coastal resiliency to preserve

our maritime industry? Learn more about what research is being done to help protect coastal

communities like Nantucket by joining us at the Shipwreck and Lifesaving on August 28th at

10am! Coffee and donuts will be served.
