MiraCosta College Professor to Speak

Keith Meldahl, Professor of Geology and Oceanography at MiraCosta College and a well-known author will talk about his new book Surf, Sand, and Stone April 5, 2016 at the Agua Hedionda Lagoon Discovery Center, 1580 Cannon Road, Carlsbad from 6 to 7:30 p.m. The free event is open to the public.

Dr. Sunita (Sunny) Cooke, superintendent/president of the MiraCosta Community College District will begin the evening with a brief update on MiraCosta College, yesterday, today and tomorrow, before introducing Dr. Meldahl.

Meldahl’s book, Surf, Sand, and Stone tells the scientific story of the Southern California coast: its mountains, bluffs, beaches, islands, waves, earthquakes and related phenomena. The compelling narrative of the book suggests how the coast will change in the future and how residents of Southern California can best prepare.
