Cape Cod: Past, Present, Future

May 18–19
2-days: Saturday–Sunday

In its short geologic history, Cape Cod has seen many changes. Rich natural and cultural history are laced within the shifting sands of this dynamic peninsula. In this course, we aim to provide an in-depth understanding of the coastal processes that shape Cape Cod and their influences on people and wildlife, both throughout history, present-day, and into the future. We will learn how the Cape was formed, how it has changed, and how humans have influenced, as well as been influenced by, those changes over the years. During our time together, we will traverse varied coastal landscapes from dramatic dunes and bluffs overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, to the vast and vibrant vistas of our salt marsh systems, and to the beautiful expanses of tidal flats and barrier beaches within Cape Cod Bay.
