During our Hydrology Field Trip we visited a neighborhood that is being affected by erosion. This also pertains to my independent study. These houses are 10-20 feet away from these bluffs and are in danger of being swept away into the ocean. My study is focusing on how sea level rise is affecting the erosion and how it affects the Nantucket communities. This field trip was a great way to see the houses literally on the edge of the island. It is such an amazing sight to see but is also terrifying for these home owners.
