| Abstract | "[T]his edition takes a new look at the problem of erosion along America's shores, emphasizing the impact of climate change and sea level rise on our coasts. Continuing its case study of Cape Cod and the surrounding region, the film shows how beaches and dunes are formed and migrate, shaped by wind, waves, and the movement of sand--all in the wider context of global warming and human development. Also included: a hard look at the future of America's once-pristine marine settings."--Container. |
