DESCRIPTION:Geologic Consultant, Gerald Weber, explains the geologic events and 
 settings that have protected the coastline from New Brighton Beach to the 
 Pajaro River from erosion over the last 150 years.  He will take us back 
 250-300 years when a release of extra sand near Ano Nuevo widened the 
 beaches and continues to replenish the beaches, providing natural shoreline 
 protection. His research suggests that this extra sand is transitory in 
 geologic time and "soon" the coastline will return to equilibrium, exposing 
 previously developed areas to significant erosion hazards. This fascinating 
 perspective in geologic time lays out a compelling explanation of why our 
 shoreline has not eroded while most of coastal California has.\n\nGerald 
 Weber has been investigating geologic problems in California and Hawaii for 
 the last 50 years. He received his PhD from UC Santa Cruz and for 20 years 
 taught the summer field camp for Earth science students.  He has served as 
 an advisor for many local planning departments and is currently a geologic 
 consultant, often giving expert testimony.  In 1991, he and his wife 
 Suzanne Holt created an endowment for the Earth Sciences Summer Field 
 Course that has awarded hundreds of scholarships to cover course fees.\n
