Un-Tidalled: Archaeology and Climate Change Part I

This fortnight we’ve got an all coastal erosion episode. Andrea Richardson, the Climate Change Adaptation Coordinator at the Cape Sable Historical Society, updates us about some of her work and plans for monitoring and managing coastal erosion in Nova Scotia. Katie DeWater and Arthur Anderson of the University of New England join us to discuss a recent paper led by Katie that used GIS, archaeological survey, and sea-level rise modeling to consider archaeological site vulnerability in the Quoddy Region. Spoiler alert: still have to visit the sites in person. And don’t forget to submit your entries for the upcoming prize draw!
