  Great video of our shoreline.
  This is a great way to explain how recent history and climate change is having such a profound affect on our coastline. The thin topsoil is 12 thousand years old, and the thick clay much much older. It took 12 thousand years to form, and now in a few short decades it is washing away at a rapid rate. Another warning sign of how we are speeding these changes.

  Excellent! I don’t normally comment, but this is so informative and so interesting that Ms. Sarah deserves a hearty “thank you!”.

  Sarah, thanks for your wonderful series. Your descriptions of the “water’s edge” adds immensely to the enjoyment of sailing. The walk along the beach suddenly is see with totally different eyes thanks to your wonderful teaching.

  Lawrence Pinto says:

  Kudos. Five stars. Very few teachers can weave together such different disciplines…geology, marine science, ecology, etc. and tell such an interesting and coherent story. I love all her videos. Keep them coming Sarah!

  Excellent

  Bring on more! Sailing, rowing, power boating, and walking the beach/shore is much more interesting knowing what we are looking at!

  Stephen Horsley says:

  That was really excellent. I’ll be looking at rocks and bedrock with renewed interest around the coast no. Hauraki Gulf New Zealand.

  Very enjoyable and informative. It is believed that Plymouth Rock is also a glacial erratic.

  Very clear, very informative.
  Thanks!

  Glacial erratics are a wonder. One of the more famous ones in Maine is Bubble Rock, perched on one of the highest spots on Mt. Desert. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acadia_National_Park#/media/File:A079,_Acadia_National_Park,_Maine,_USA,_balanced_rock,_2002.jpg

  That really was a good video, and timely too. I took a lot of pictures yesterday of the wonderful rock formations lining the shore on Long Cove during a TSCA row. The lesson in geology will make the images much more interesting. Thanks Sarah.

  Michael Barra says:

  Thank you so much for this video. Sarah’s knowledge and her teaching ability is phenomenal.
  She gave me a new perspective when looking at stone of any kind, from pebbles to bedrock to granite, and the herbal and marine life surrounding them, and the history of their origin and development over thousands of years, and the fact that it’s still further developing during our lifetime. Thanks again.

  Brilliant! Thank you, most excellent examples and explanation. Geology similar to Dartmoor UK, where I am from.
