At the Bates-Morse Mountain Conservation Area in September, Emily Chandler ’09 of North Yarmouth, Maine (above), with Dana Oster \u201909 of Mercer Island, Wash., and Professor of Geology Mike Retelle, surveys Seawall Beach to\u00a0monitor the transport and erosion of beach sediment. Here, Chandler calculates the distance from her benchmark location to the water\u2019s edge. Researchers have noticed measurable sand transport along parts of Seawall Beach, and\u00a0extensive erosion at adjacent Popham Beach. <\/em><\/p>\n
