Coast Studies

|
We explore the remarkable
long shore drifting and extensive volcanic deposits that
are together creating
large areas of new land.
We can examine erosion problems
seeing how they are
being addressed by the community.
A 40 min walk
lets us view pillow lava formations created by extensive
volcanic activity some 30 km away. These were covered with loeses are now
being exposed again by the violent forces of the Pacific Ocean.
Studies We
learn to understand how the headlands and bays sort and
collect the various materials that all have a long and interesting history
beginning t the tops of the southern alps.
We can also explore the methods
a small city has grown and developed its drainage and conservation systems.
