Sunday’s Virginian Pilot ran a story entitled ‘Digging for answers at First Landing.’ The story told of how ODU professor, Rich Whittecar, is digging to date the Cape Henry Dunes. Dating these dunes will tell you about the coast’s history and sea-level rise trends that may occur. He is using a technique called luminescence that dates the sand based on the energy from each crystal structure in each grain.

You can check out the article here: http://digitaledition.pilotonline.com/infinity/article_share.aspx?guid=890ba25f-e111-4321-88c9-57425932e7d6

Swiping to the side will show you an aerial view of the ridges that 3,000-5,000 years of mitigating dune lines in Cape Henry have formed. These lines look almost like ribbons following the shoreline. 🏖

Happy National Bird Day! 🦜Today we are celebrat

Happy National Bird Day! 🦜Today we are celebrating birds and their importance in our ecosystems.

Birds help us to maintain the beauty of our ecosystems, especially here in Coastal VA! They help us keep our coral reefs alive by cycling nutrients and fertilizing marine ecosystems. They also help us maintain the plant, predator, & prey balance and protect the coast from sea erosion (Birdlife.org, 2019).

Today, we are recognizing the transformative work they’ve done for us and how they upkeep the natural places we love.
