APALACHICOLA - The Apalachicola National
Estuarine Research Reserve (ANERR) will host an evening lecture, Shifting
Sands: How Historical Maps and Air Photos Can Reveal Changes in Franklin
County’s Barrier Islands, on Thursday, January 22, from 5:30-7:30
pm. Geologist Jim Mott will show what he has learned from studying decades of
historic maps.
A local part-time resident
and Professional Geologist, Jim Mott has made something of a hobby of
documenting some of the evolving changes across the barrier islands and will
show some examples of how the islands have locally grown (or shrank) over the
past 150 years, as evidenced from decades of historic maps and air
photos. Jim has a Ph.D. in Geology from Queen’s University in Canada, and
has worked as a professional geologist over the past 25 years- mostly in Canada
but also overseas and recently in the lower 48 states.
The lecture will be held at
the Apalachicola National Estuarine Research Reserve, 108 Island Drive,
Eastpoint, Florida. 850-670-7700. It is free and open to the
public. No registration is required. For more information contact Anita Grove
