The Forks Branch Library, 171 S. Forks Ave., will host Dr. Ian Miller for a presentation and discussion highlighting his research on coastal bluff erosion at Kalaloch from 4 to 6 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 1.

Miller will give an overview of how shoreline erosion at Kalaloch places buildings and recreational infrastructure at risk, posing a variety of management problems. The presentation will also cover some of the methods that have been used to monitor and understand the erosion patterns of Kalaloch’s bluffs, including ground surveys with global navigation satellite systems (GNSS), which have been conducted at least twice a year since 2013.
