Ice Age Geology with Dr. Hal Borns MMNP Advanced Seminars June 24, 2017
Join Dr. Hal Borns to learn how the history of the melting of an ice sheet that flowed southwest from northern Canada, across Maine onto the continental shelf is recorded in coastal Maine by wonderfully exposed glacial and emerged glacial-marine landforms like those in your backyard or those on your way to work. Not only did these landforms shape our landscape, but document a major, hemisphere-wide abrupt climate change. "

In honor of the 150th anniversary of the completion of the Epping Baseline, Nancy Willey, “the Baseline Lady,” will conduct two bus tours on Sunday, August 12, 2007, at 10:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. The tours will begin at the Cherryfield Academy on Main Street in Cherryfield and will commence with a brief history lesson to help those on the tour appreciate more fully the significance of what they will be seeing up on the barrens. She will also discuss the geology of the area through which the tour will pass, so that her “students” will recognize such glacial effects as a kame, a kettle hole, and an erratic when they see them.
