Nature and Maritime Archaeology: Revealing Massachusetts’ Hidden History: When it comes to shipwrecks, archaeologists generally use these resources as windows to the past. However, the archaeological past can inform us about the present and where we can go in the future.
For example, how can a shipwreck be used to study a severe storm? This presentation discusses the effect of changing environmental conditions and how this information can be used to better understand sea level rise and global warming. Presented by Victor T.
